"May be worse that 9/11"
Salute!
And people wonder how SWA keeps on keeping on.
Good balance between staying financially afloat and still providing safe, affordable services to we proles.
Not a great fan of SWA, but this dude sounds lots better than the Boeing leadership the last year or so, huh?
Gums sends...

He said they are seriously considering schedule reductions in the short term, and will monitor demand thereafter. The only actual cut he mentioned was he was cutting his salary by 10% as part of an overall aggressive program to keep the company healthy and preserve jobs.

Good speech. Not many airline CEO's talk like that.

Michael O'learry would do it the other way around: how can I screw my employees using Corona as excuse... Watch this space: there will be pay cuts at RYR before the end of the month
But back to this clip: true leadership!

Somebody please show this to Alex Cruz. Never mind, some people have it and others don’t. Cruz falls into the latter category and would never be able to make a delivery like this.
My god, as far away from O'Leary as one can possibly imagine, it does highlight though how bad he really is (and I mean bad) when compared to true leaders like this man who completely comes across as deeply impressive, professional and compassionate. Ironic their business models are broadly similar, yet personalities could not be more divergent.

I would argue that the business models are not in fact broadly similar. One makes the management, the passengers and employees all allies in delivering the product at a low cost. The other sets them up in competition / opposition.
