With newly emerging info like this, what little respect and trust I had for AMR senior management is gone. As a former military officer, the first thing I discovered was that your people were your most important asset and that respect was a two-way street. The least respected and weakest officers were those that set poor examples by putting their own interests and well-being ahead of the troops. In ''Nam this sort of leadership was sometimes rewarded with fragging. I shudder to think how US history would have been altered had Washington led with Carty''s example.
