@circusboy90210 Yes everybody should take a cut except the pilots and mechanics. Your? pilot hero worship is pathetic. Why don't you go out and throw peanuts at people. Serving them at their every whim and want. I bet you couldn't cut it as a pilot, all talk no balls.

In 2008/2009 we in the airline industry are all living with the recording of the guard dog. Works great until a real? thief shows up - or it snows in a hub city.

Bob Crandall is a ...
Bob Crandall is a maverik. He was known for being tough, but he was also fair. Furthermore, when the airlines were deregulated in 1978, American was not in a very health state, but he transformed it into the largest, most feared airline in the U.S. through the 1990's. When computer reservations were introduced, they were used to just keep track of the day to day details of running the airline, but Crandall turned AMR's saber into a weapon by introducing a FF? program, leaving the others behind.

Maybe we could ...
Maybe we could record him saying "we gotta save some costs" and then get rid of HIM. That? would save, oh, 20 million dollars right there.
