Gardener?
Manure. All good gardeners wade knee deep in manure and spread it freely about. So, let's get this straight. You're suggesting that an airline CEO/MD is really a gardener because both scatter manure as a daily practice? Some very powerful symbolism there Hansof. I wonder if there are any mushrooms in this garden of yours. Kept in the dark, fed on manure, waiting for another bucketful from the knowledgeable gardener.
As for the shareholders and public opinion: Both irrelevant. Shareholders are gamblers; gamblers who have purchased a small piece of a pie theoretically allowing a measure of commensurate control which in practice only serves to hold them hostage to whatever gain or loss the market deems fit to dish out. Public opinion is equally irrelevant.
