Blame it on the stock market. Profits need to increase each quarter, the "nrpms" even though they are "nrpms" need to drive this. They don't have an aviation passion, it's just business - all for the share holder which includes them. It's the way all listed companies are going, employees are all pi$$ed off while execs cash in on their stock. It's just the way it is now and will always be, just enjoy the flying and life.
