I'm with Billy on this one. Seldom heard are pilots' views that include anything other than expanding the cost side of the balance sheet. Fancy new destinations and super jumbo aircraft all sound great to the drivers up front, but the bean counters see it differently. They assess massive risk in those moves. Their jobs are to maximize ROI (return on investment) while minimizing risk. Are they overly cautious sometimes? Of course, but I prefer that to some ego maniac up there with hair-brained schemes that might blow the whole thing up.
