Responsibility
In many Companies you can see a trend these days: Some carreer eager pimps want the fast track up and implement changes that are not allways for the best of the Company. After the error surfaces the "guilty" Guy cannot be held responsible anymore as he followed the call of his carreer and left the organisation for some greener pastures. His pockets get filled and his carreer another boost. Who cares about yesterday?
Now some lower paid people suffer the layoff´s, that does not help too much but sounds good for shareholders. The real cuts should be made by lease agreements and Management bonuses and gratifcations. That would get the numbers corrected towards the black. Now guess who ownes the Airplanes and leases them to AB ? Was there any meeting that the Board workes for significant less ? I doubt it.
Hunold left the front line to act from the back. Wait what comes next from AB.
