Buffet Getting Cold Feet?

[waka]

Ha, I see, stupid, tasteless joke, and I'm suppose to find it funny. I didn't, so now I'm the as****hole of this thread. I guess its my turn to get a flaming.

OK......... Dooker, great joke man, good stuff, please keep'em coming.

Either you have no sense of humor or, you're just trying to save face for just not getting it the first time.

In either case, you're one highly strung individual.....and I'm sure a joy to fly with.

NetJets Buffet Bearish on His Fractional
‘We All Make Mistakes’

From Investor’s Hedge Fund Derivative Weekly

OMAHA-In an abrupt about-face, Warren Buffet told Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting here this past week that he was “way, and I mean way way” overly optimistic when he decided to get involved in the fractional jet business.

“Hey, we all make mistakes,” Buffet told the shareholders. “I never had any idea what a cluster this industry really was. Now I see what all my friends warned me about. Everywhere I go I see our pilots just sitting around, eating crew meal after crew meal, talking on their cell phones, downloading porn onto their laptops. Do we really need all these guys? I mean, come on.”

Buffet went on to say that a study he had commissioned several months earlier determined that, on average, NetJets pilots consume almost three times as many calories as they expend on any given duty day.

“If we’re looking for a place to cut, I’d say crew meals are as good a place to start as any,” Buffet said. “Some of these guys are the biggest chow-hogs you’ll ever lay eyes on.”

On the other hand, Buffet added, allowing his massively underworked pilot force to gorge might be the wisest move, given the slowing global economy and the inevitable need to trim pilot ratios down to a more workable and realistic level.

“If enough of these guys keel over from heart attacks, it might at least help attrition keep pace with fleet shrinkage,” he said.

I don't work at NJ. But, I have studied Buffett (and continue to do so) for some time. He simply does not talk like the article quotes. I doubt the quote is reliable. He's a man of class, and those quotes sound like a six-pack beer-gut redneck talking. Article dismissed. Again, I don't work at NJ.

Wow! The first post was funny. I thought that'd be the end of it. But no. Much to my enjoyment, the ones who didn't get it have kept the laughs right on coming!!:laugh:

People need to lighten up a little and learn to laugh at ourselves. I STILL get a kick out of the people complaining that we can order ONLY 4 crew meals in a duty period!

Maybe these are the folks that didn't get the joke or didn't find it funny?
