But the Southwest pilot's union is accusing the former CEO, Gary Kelly, of running the company at full speed into operational suicide. I don't see that as picking the right CEO for the moment, even if the stock price did well.

The pilot's union doesn't have a monopoly on truth. They would always like to be paid more and work less, as would I!

Are they accurate or inaccurate? I can't say.

Were they unionized, I'm sure the Twitter employee's union would be crying bloody murder right now. But it's fair to say that organizationally Twitter had a lot of headcount for their product. And when you tighten a financial belt, employees are going to be unhappy.

Classic Jack Welch move. Get out before the shit you created hits the fan and leave the next guy to deal with it.
