So what surprises you about that? Don Carty was a Bush fund raiser in his zip code. And his conservative (GOP) attitude about the privilidges of leadership cost him his job.

A better question would be, have AA''s employees gotten any benefits from this investement? Or was this supposed to be pre-pay installment for changes to labor laws?
