I've said many times that I'd be thrilled to sell the airline to the employees and our guys said no, we'll take all the money, anyway.

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

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

This is a nasty, rotten business.

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.
