If WW fires this lot, he will have himself an award winning airline and will be able to get back to doing what a CEO should be doing....... which is making money for the share holders.
I disagree. The CEO's job is make the customer happy AND profitable for the shareholders. When CEOs concentrate solely on the share price - well, just look at the service industry since the recession of 1989/91 and see where it got them.

Keep the customer satisfied but, then, I'm middle aged and was brought up in service industries and told to ensure that the customer was happy and profitable (in that order).
