If Pigs Could Fly…

Can you recognize a leadership team (and business) in the Whirlpool?

Today’s Chicago Tribune quoted UAL as saying their losses were the result of "brutal" fuel costs.  If it just wasn’t for those darn high fuel prices, why they could break-even.

And if pigs could fly….

For many years United’s management has had one excuse after another as to why they couldn’t make money.  Unions, too many planes, high gate costs, insufficient ridership, too much competition…. fuel costs…  Their business model is broken and it can’t make money.  They have no idea how to fix it.  They keep trying to find a way to Defend what they’ve done and Extend it in some fashion that will save the company.  But nothing works.  And it won’t.  Yet, they can’t seem to get the gumption to disrupt themselves and try to really do something new before everyone loses their jobs (they already wiped out the shareholders) and leave creditors owning a bunch of planes.

Why, if they could just get those pigs to fly….
