isnt this the ashole who said he wanted to see cadavers come out of the alpap building? surely this guy is motivated by negative emotions like hatered and envy. im sure he feels like the stupid eager beaver scientist whose experiment blew up in his face and is blaming everybody else for the accident.
he is the same asshole who, before he manueverd himself as management, would bad mouth management pilots, lambasting them for not recognizing where they come from. and boy did he gave and still do, have a big mouth.
this asshole is at the last, patriotic.his panic to cover his tracks is getting the better of him. so what was his arguement? stop pilots from leaving or to tax them? it doesnt take much to be a boss if you are an asshole.
