Precisely. Wanting an airlines' management team to recognize and learn from mistakes is not hate--it is essential for a company to grow and thrive. If the management team is on a messianic mission where they feel they can do no wrong, that is a dangerous path to be on- especially now with 28% of their seats grounded for the foreseeable future. They should take their time to do due diligence and understand all the problems they will take on rather than rushing into it, throwing money away, and then winging it.

They need to really focus on running the airline right now. As this grounding goes on, the number of pilots and flight attendants not getting their full salary will increase given they are not flying as many hours due to the amount of cancellations. How long will passengers accept having their flights cancelled one day at a time with a limited rebooking window? People travelling over holidays and breaks where alternative seats will not available are hardly going to be able to enjoy their vacations if they are worried about getting there and getting back---having to check their flights every day of their time away to see if they are the next victim of a last minute cancellation. But hey--we love the max and we will be sticking with it---even if we have no customers left at the end of this. An we will focus out attention on taking over another airline we don't fully understand.
