Somehow, the announcement (delivered in a holier-than-thou demeanor) that, "We're just trying to protect our constituent stockholders' dividends and share value." would likely draw anything from a subtle snicker to uncontrollable hysterical laughter that results in loss of bladder control.

The motivation of these 'trade groups' or whatever guise they go under is pure and simple economics and they can be counted on to do one thing and one thing only: whatever is in the best interest of their stock holders. They cannot be expected or even thought of doing what is best for their 'suppliers' (that would be the artists/creators for those slow people out there) and for their 'consumers' (damn I miss being a customer, guess that's why I don't 'consume' their 'product'). They are NOT in the business of looking after any country’s, regions, ethnic groups (etc.) heritage...they're only concern is the bottom line.

She is not the first *AA executive to try and distanciate herself from her firm's politics AFTER she has left it. Two hypothesis: - as I read elsewhere, these people "leave their brain" and the rest at the entrance and morph into corporate drones while they're inside. But one question: if the CEO doesn't think anymore, who is doing the thinking (hint hint!!!) - this is just another self promotional piece from a person who has just started a business as a consultant and tries to sell herself as a provider of "new" and "fresh" ideas. In any case, I'm not starting to worship -or even trust- her anytime soon. Just another conscience-free moneymaker.
