This is a nasty, rotten business.

A lot of people came into the airline business. Most of them promptly exited, minus their money.

The airline business is fast-paced, high risk, and highly leveraged. It puts a premium on things I like to do. I think I communicate well. And I am very good at detail. I love detail.

I did not deal well with the politicians. I tend to tell people that when they are full of crap, that they are full of crap.

If you want to travel on the airline system, you give up your privacy. If you want your privacy, don't fly. Flying is voluntary.

[Politicians] - they'll give you everything you want to your face - and then, as you walk away, they'll shoot you in the back because it's fun to watch you die.

The game we are playing her is closest to the old game of 'Christians and lions.'
