Insight
I will have to dig it up...but a similar speech was given by Hudson upon the first delivery of the 70...Where he spoke of airlines becoming vanilla due to conglomerations and alliances to overcome destinations of low commercial value, and the introduction of "bare bones" airlines as another way to meet this type of demand.
I gave a copy of the speech to James Strong (years ago) during negotiations for an EBA, and asked where this type of insight was....(at that time)
The reply could have been scripted by Mel Brooks, and went along the corporate line of....our board has experience and complies to operational excellence guidelines etc etc (snore) etc..
