Look, I am posting this, in the middle of the night in self-defense — so that no more of you will feel the need to send me an email about it. <g>

There is news from Trebor Banstetter’s blog over at the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, and from about ten thousand emails I’ve received in the last 5 hours.

Well maybe not that many, but they’re mounting up.

Trebor informs us that “the September issue of DallasCEO magazine, which is published by the good folks at D Magazine, touts AA chief executive Gerard Arpey as ‘Dallas CEO of the year.’ The cover blurb proclaims that “In just four years, Gerard Arpey steered American Airlines from the brink of bankruptcy back to blue skies, helping its stock soar more than 1,500 percent.”

The magazine is going out to subscribers and newsstands today. No doubt the folks at American will be thrilled, while plenty of people on the airline’s labor side will be enraged.

I don’t envy the poor soul who edits the magazine’s letters to the editor.”

Amen to that. I think it might be time for an organized visit to the magazine’s offices. By a lot of people.
