Good post, GlueBall.
People in "high office" always loose track of reality when surrounded by yes people.
No offence to management, (at least one has already posted on this thread), but they should take a little bit more notice of the troops.
Don't worry chaps, they can't fire you all. Mind you, some dictators do have a habit of shooting the messenger.
If management are "worth their salt" they would respect you putting across you views. We have a marvellous median in the Internet so take advantage of it. Our predecessors in aviation didn't have such a luxury.
