I did not post that he was stupid.
I posted that
"we know his thoughts on extra legroom", and he thinks that it's stupid.
In a 2011 email exchange, one senior executive groused about the need to install in-flight wireless Internet.
He wrote: "[N]ext it will be more legroom. Then industry standard labor contracts. Then better wines. Then the ability to book on Facebook. Penultimately, television commercials..."
US Airways Chief Executive Doug Parker wrote back: "Easy now. Consolidation will help stop much of the stupid stuff but inflight internet is not one of them."
