Indeed. Kirby is the worst option right now. Anybody can cut and chop. What is needed is leadership that is focused on growing faster than comp and market coming out of the downturn. You don’t cut and save your way out of a downturn.

What’s really alarming is Kirby’s bias prior to COVID towards smallball domestic v worldwide service. CLE-LIT isn’t the future.
