True, but still, that article was scathing, particularly when you consider it's published by WSJ, and they're usually very careful and restrained. Taken in that context, it's really something.
Do you think $mi$ek simply fired the entire PR staff at UA to save more money?
At most of the companies I've worked with, if even 1 article like this was published, it would be a crisis situation, all hands would be on deck managing it, and heads would be rolling for allowing it to happen. UA seems to be completely indifferent to the endless drumbeat of scathing press coverage. It truly seems that nobody cares.
