Hi RogerIrrelevant - I absolutely agree with you....thousands had to go. And they did. Thus saving the company.
Now I ask you - was that so BRILLIANT? Was that some stroke of GENIUS?
Walsh had been told time and again by ordinary pilots at management seminars that the company was OVER MANNED - yet Walsh's response was ridicule and denial! How do you explain that? The guy was sitting watching the weight pile on, but did nothing about it, and even denied there was a problem.
When the proverbial hit the fan - suddenly he 'realises' the problem and 'rushed' to save the company with a 'stroke of genius' that nobody else could've thought of??
If it wasn't so sick it'd be funny.
