Best deal I ever got at auction was a house that had 400k owed on it and I was one of a few on the court house steps. Bought it for 75k did 30k in work sold it for 425k. BAM!!!

Airline Execs loose everyone else's money, trash the employee's retirements, force employees to take 50% pay cuts, and then sell the fuel hedges to buy an insurance program to protect the Top Execs pensions, file for BK and then walk away with $XX,000,000 (yes, millions) and free 1st class, "must ride" air travel for life.

Leo Mullin - Delta <-- Harvard MBA Prick!
Robert Crandal - American <- Prick! (bragged on 60 min about cutting a Security Guard to 3 days a week - randomly to save $ and then replacing him with a Guard Dog, then only bringing the dog in 3 days a week to save more $)
Don Carty - American <-- Triple Prick
Don Carty - SkyBus (defunct CMH startup)
Bill Compton - TWA <-- former line pilot, turned greedy, backstabbing Rat
Carl Ican - TWA <--- Capitalistic, "give me mine" and I'll sell off the pieces Prick!
Frank Lorenzo - Eastern <--- King of Pricks!
Frank Lorenzo - Continental
Stephen Wolf - UAL <--- Dumb Prick
Stephen Wolf - US Air (double diped and F'd two airlines)
Jim Goodwin - UAL <--- Meant well, but was over his head. Walked away with $millions for giving it a shot.

Every single one of these CEOs trashed an airline or more than one, and then walked away with $ millions.

Fair point(s), sort of. My point wasn't, BTW, in reference to the airline industry in particular, just toward folks that are wildly optimistic (like airline execs, restauranteurs, etc).

I'm sure a lot of those guys are pricks though. And shitty pilots to boot. :tongue::smile:

Well, I live in a mobil home, drive a Corvair, usually wear shorts and t-shirts. I don't care what anyone thinks. I don't even care what I think. I don't even do anything. So I consider myself and my dogs to be extremely successful.:biggrin:

Hey it's all about being happy in the end right? I see people with millions that are unhappy.
