The actions were wrong and contrary to explicit company policy.

Today's actions are significant steps in moving the company toward best practices in corporate governance and compensation matters.

The company is taking the actions required for long-term profitability but whenever a company has to do this it can be painful for investors.

All's fair in job actions. But for the company to put four pilots out in Luanda, Angola, where there are major security concerns and they're in real harm's way is totally irresponsible.

I think there are some actions the company will have to take and some expenses the company will have to incur that will make it tough. I still think given those parameters, it can be, stay and remain an independent company and eventually flourish.

On Ash Wednesday, we will begin with public actions, not just for one day and not just for one company.
