Should he have acquiesced or taken action to bring the nonsense to an end? I, and many others, think he did the right thing.
Back to the topic.....
What AJ did was panic, the man has the managerial skills of an household pot plant. He shouldn't be in charge of anything more complex than a garage door opener as he is demonstrably incompetent. His skill lies in extracting himself a good deal - and in that, he's pretty good. The airline is but a shadow of its former self and is depressing to know. But clearly you don't understand or you wouldn't hold an incompetent in such high regard. On your 'Back to the topic' comment, you will find (sooner or later) that all roads do indeed lead to Rome. In AJ's exalted office there would have been a glass box with a fiddle inside. The glass box has long been broken, such is the frequency of its use.
