Actually, you could even go as far as to state:

"<Insert Airline Name Here> is run by a bunch of idiots."

... At last month's JP Morgan airlines conference, Continental CEO Jeff Smisek attacked the simplified pricing structure that Delta introduced in January 2005. "I still think simplified fares are stupid [and] I think Delta got what it deserved." Smisek said, apparently referring to the airline's bankruptcy filing. Delta's move to cease requiring a Saturday-night stay to get a lower fare was "criminally insane," he said, adding that perhaps "Delta needs a little adult supervision." ...

Gee. Why doesn't he just say what he really thinks?

Well...at least Simplifares gave DL something to do with that pesky $1 Billion laying around after DALPA's 32.5% donation

Hunh. I thought that $1 billion was earmarked for management incentives.

Yeah, it was, but they have so many "managers" there that it was only gonna be about $100/head so they spent it on Simplifares. That guy got a bigger bonus....

It is one thing for pilots to call the management stupid, but it is pretty funny when other airline managers agree that the is management stupid.

I find it ironic that an airline that was in BK 2 x's has the balls to complain about what ANYONE else does. Not that I am a fan of our management. I think monkeys could do a better job, but when each of these morons complains about the others, it just makes you wonder......
