We can pick the bones all day long on this, but key to me is revenues down across the board.
You can only address the bottom line for so long before the only thing left is the top line. I see this as potentially positive. As the global economy is having a few hiccups BA will need to up the ante to grow the top line, or maintain it. So could be time for a few improvements.
Parallels new job, they cleaned up bottom line, made savings for a few years, now know maybe 2 years of cleaning up left or they will cut staff and shrink, so I get to grow the top line and make the service investments
