The top 400 Execs found millions for themselves. Take the money and run? Take what you can get while you can get it, then blame the unions for wanting to try to keep up with inflation.

Can we oust Arpey and bring Crandall back before it's too late? He was a toughminded boss but at least he knows the industry and how to run an airline. There was no guessing where he stood on matters and how to get results.
