NEWS: Gordon Bethune Says Airline Industry Needs Balance

Today's hero is Gordon Bethune who, until recently, was the CEO of Continental Airline. In an interview for NPR Mr. Bethune wisely states that the industry still needs to find a balance between supply and demand. He also indicates that this is not a magic cure that will fix all that ails the industry. Airlines still need to do their part by continuing to cut costs and focus on their operation.

Mr. Bethune knows what he's talking about. Many credit him for pulling Continental Airlines back from the brink of the abyss during their difficult years in the 90's. Having had the opportunity to listen to him speak I would say that credit is due. Mr. Bethune "gets it" when it comes to airlines.
