    You're mostly right. But then again there was an article posted here, maybe a year back,about "Business at the speed of trust". It was all about cutting bureaucracy and red tape and just gettin' 'er done and other gung-ho number-one stuff like that.

    People, especially those that fly a lot, read stuff like that and it makes their point hair stand up with excitement.

    IIRC it was posted a week after a story about how some major corp got scammed because someone didn't do all that bureaucracy shit.
