Hypothetical: If Jeff Smisek became CEO of Doubletree Hotels...
Would the chocolate chip cookies be immediately cancelled as a cost saving measure? (I understand their actual cost to the properties is approx $.27 each)
… or would guests be given half-pieces and crumbles upon check-in?
Or would he skip that job and develop a never-before curriculum and become a Professor of Brand Devaluation Studies at a top MBA program?
(as a 23 year, 2.2 mm mile former die-hard UA loyalist with an MBA, am fascinated by this Board of Directors- supported intentional brand devaluation initiative, and its two-pronged strategy of focused alienation of both consumers and workforce)

While I appreciate the attempt at humor, I do not believe this is an appropriate thread for this forum. There are enough threads regarding the current CEO and Board of Directors of UA with ongoing discussion; I'd like to leave some room for threads allowing members to help other members.
Thank you.
