What is it with these morons?

After reading that Enoughs Enough email, I have to agree. I almost want them to come in and clean house if we have sunken to the point of terminating military guys out on leave due to being injured on duty. Our issue with each department being its little kingdom still exists.

Hay. That is on him not the company. He is the one who decided to serve our country. I have no problem speaking Chinese , North Korean , or Russian
This place has always been anti military, hence the law suit that was won.


Thow Iran into that list also

I've seen companies clean house before. Sometimes it is for the better. Most of the time though, the new people are rehashes from other airlines. The problem with this industry, not much new blood. Not much innovation left in the industry. One thing is for sure, starting in late next month, Elliott will really put the heat on. And when Eliott backs a new CEO(just like it did with Starbucks yesterday) it will get ugly. GK has his legacy at stake. He will fight it all the way. Get the popcorn out.
