Well, Gen-
I guess "failing" was too strong a word for the ATL paper to use, but these routes are failing-real hard. 17-plus percent drop in the Pacific region in one year? Over-expanding into INTL routes has been he demise of many an airline.
I do love the corporate doublespeak throughout the article. "continue to grow the global footprint that is the cornerstone of our successful strategy." This is my favorite part. "Successful strategy" would tend to imply that some part of this strategy had indeed succeeded. Do these clowns even recongize how foolish these statements make them look?
Oh well-I guess that response is a lot better than "we f-cked up-real bad."
-And I love the part at the end about things turning around in a couple of years... Does anyone really think the company will last that long-bleeding half a billion or so each quarter?
-RA and Steenland-Once again, Gen. These guys will destroy the airline if they are allowed to run things like they did at NWA. Any management team stupid enough to think INTL would skyrocket while domestic just tanked needs to be shown the door. Everyone knows this strategy was doomed from the start.
