...think it’s a great profession; I’ve had a great run. I think the question is, what is the private sector going to do? In the networks, if they keep having to drive the stock up quarterly and achieve an increase of 10 to 15 percent a year, it’s going to drive all the juice out of it. It’s just going to be terrible.

Whether or not to provide heavy assistance to the airlines did not pose much of an economic dilemma for U.S. lawmakers; the airline industry is a major sector of the U.S. economy, and many other industries depend on air travel as part of our nation’s basic infrastructure...
