  • Airlines: Some Costs They Can't - And Shouldn't - Cut [View article]
    When you say Pan Am had bad management I have to comment. They had some real world regulatory problems and made some terrible mistakes. However, the Pan Am Finance department kept that Company running for years after they should have been dead. I watched Pan Am from a competitor and was amazed how they could continue to raise money for years with such terrible financial results.

    I couldn't give the whole Company high management grades but the Treasurers department gets the highest marks.
