Right now, messages, even political ones, are very important.

There should be a tier one lawyer who has worked a restructuring before - preferably stateside, a respected former Air Canada manager, VP level or higher, a former union leader - again, sending all the right signals - and a rainmaker for Ottawa relations. So, you can keep some of the board - but I still say that Mr. Milton be given a free hand - that everyone offeres to go, and he keeps the ones he needs.
