I am a little more optimistic about Delta management since it recently made some intelligent decisions for a change. Besides finally compromising with the pilots, Delta also decided to cut off positive-space first-class flight privileges for former senior executives.

While the decision regarding flight privileges may not recoup that much money overall, it is a tremendous morale booster for the rest of the employees.

Of course, Michele Burns, the former CFO and lynchpin for Leo’s league of looters, thinks she is too special to give up those privileges. Guess the many millions she sucked from Delta and Mirant the past few years aren’t enough to keep her and her domestic partner living in the style to which they’ve grown accustomed.

I really hope she shows up on one of my flights. I will give her a trip she’ll never, ever forget.

After turning out the seatbelt light, I will invite and encourage every passenger on that flight to come up to first class and let her know what they think about her brilliant maneuvers that have helped put the once-strong Delta into its present position.

Michele, why don’t you and your friend just use your broomsticks to fly places?
