Guy walks into a bar and sees a Flight Attendant and asks... "What airline do you work for?"
She responds... "What the F@&% does it matter to you?"
He responds... "Oh never mind, United."
One of the airlines should be sacrificed for the survival of the rest. Might as well be the one with the biggest mess.
That said.... I think they have a chance of survival, but prior management consisted of too many bean counters and not enough aviation managers, and they may have already done too much damage. There's way too much of that going around.
No offense to Baby Boomers, but you all got too hung up on the $$$ signs, thinking bean counters were the solution. The generation behind you is highly specialized, know what they're doing, and they're fed up. Hopefully, the damage isn't irreversible.
