Spoken like a true Aussie!
I agree with his sentiments 100%. I saw an interview with Samuel L Jackson a few days ago when he was asked if he was apprehensive about flying. He gave the interviewer a funny look and said if anyone tried to hijack a plane he was on he'd smack them!!
One of my business contacts told me that he had to cancel a very important meeting with a very large US corporate as the executives that were due toi come over refused to fly and were sending underlings instead. He refused to accept the substitutes and is now looking for alternative suppliers for a £100 million plus project!
The US economy was in the 5hit before 11/9 but if there execs continue with this sort of behaviour then it can only get worse.
