I think this article was written this week but before the latest events. Don't forget how much cash they squandered on stock buybacks to make million$ on stock options. >>>execs are given themselves perks I'm sure most execs at most companies are doing this. Why wouldn't they? I don't think this practice existed before. When did it start and how to end it?

interesting that the flight attendants now are the only ones squawking. Probably because they have the least to lose. A lot of the AA rank and file are of the mind that it is the norm so why fight it, like what do you expect anyway from management. People are much more cynical, less idealistic these days imo. but of course they have mtgs to pay. You can see how people become putty in corporate hand when they are controlled by massive debt induced fear of living in the street.
