I just met a woman who’s been a flight attendant for Delta Airlines since the early 1990s, who laments that her company has been ruined by corporate greed, which has trashed so many other things in our lives.

As it turns out, the CEO makes more than $20 million per year, largely based on bonuses associated with cutting costs.  “Now we have tray tables that don’t work and seatbacks that don’t recline, and nobody even thinks about fixing them.”
