The astonishing thing about JB is his ability to blame everyone else for his problems and get away with it. Either way it doesn't cut it. Either he hasn't had an original idea of his own since he's been here and has relied on his executive team to drive the airline, or else he's consistently employed the wrong people. Either way you cut it the buck stops with him. The only answer that seems feasible is that he has enough of the board in his pocket to protect himself from the likes of Luxton and the other shareholders.
