I might be missing something in the whole "Boeing put shareholders first, so people die" logic. Does putting shareholders first automatically mean safety corners are cut? Safety is a component of the financial value of a company - a BIG one, especially with an aircraft manufacturer. Every publicly held company operates to maximize shareholder value. Cutting corners on safety will harm shareholder value. Boeing did not put shareholders ahead of safety because the two factors are interchangeably linked. Do you really not understand this, or is the "shareholder ahead of safety" sloganeering just too easy to spout versus actually thinking about how this all works?
Lets see....Mark Cuban's hourly employees....how many would that be? 500? And DL, AA, UA hourly employees....I dunno, 100,000+? And with what exactly? "Huge profits", most of which went to pay off debt incurred over the last 10 years? Guess I'm not following your version of fiscal reality.
Again, another reason to call for a "fit for flight" certification from your doctor that you present to the airline before flight, certifying you are ok to fly, ok with crowds, and you are low risk to cause social disruption to those around you.
I'm beginning to be a big fan of requiring a medical "OK to travel" document from your physician attesting that you do not have behavioral health problems and you do not pose a social or physical threat to those around you.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the above post is yet another BRILLIANT, intelligent, thoughtful comment brought to you by 21st century social media - the place where idiots can believe they have a serious shot at stardom.
