Perhaps it's time for Mr. Nasetta to leave.

Specifically: "Thursday's filing alleges for the first time that Mr. Nassetta had knowledge of the documents about three months before Hilton began returning them to Starwood. In November 2008 Mr. Nassetta was informed that proprietary Starwood documents were placed on Hilton's computer server and were being used to develop Hilton's luxury and lifestyle brands, it claims......

The 86-page complaint includes excerpts of emails between Hilton executives. In one, an executive discusses "Hiltonizing" the confidential Starwood documents and "sharing it with the Exec Group ASAP." The complaint says Hilton employees "scrubbed" the Starwood brand from documents so they could be routed freely among its managers. At least 44 Hilton managers were sent, received or copied on Starwood confidential documents, it says."

Naturally we cannot assume Mr. Nasetta is guilty of these charges until proven as such.

However, if he is given the ax (preferably sooner rather than later), I for one would not shed a single tear, given the way he has steered HHONORS.

Truth is I think he's in over his head.
