#1 Well, maybe, but let's negotiate some concessions in exchange:

1- No airline industry executive can have a chair more than 17" wide, or with more than 28" of leg room.

2- Any airline industry executive bringing a briefcase to work will be charged $25 per day for the privilege.

3- At random intervals a $17/hr employee will load all executive briefcases onto a cart and dump them in an open field a mile down the road.

4- Internet access for airline industry executives will be $5.95 per day.

#2 I'm so fooking tired of this airline industry (generally) making "demands". Let them fail/go under. If they are inefficient or make poor business decisions, that's on them, not the American taxpayer or the US Treasury.

I'll never forget years ago being on a United flight dealing with two of the most bitter flight attendants who had to take pay-cuts while the C-Suite pukes got bonuses. The cheek and the gall.
