I dunno. How did the journalist translate "we invite all air travelers to make responsible decisions about flying" (from the open letter linked in the article) into "Maybe don’t take that flight"?
I guess an airline CEO actively discouraging flying would be violating their fiduciary duties.
- icebraining 7y agoAs the article says, the video asks: "Do meetings always have to take place face-to-face? Could you take the train instead?" That seems to be quite clearly promoting not taking a flight.
- perfunctory 7y agoThnx. I watched the video now. But I maintain that a CEO will not do anything to deliberately hurt shareholder value. I believe Freak_NL's comment is correct (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20361619 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20361619), they are trying to free up airport capacity from short flights to use it for long haul ones.
- icebraining 7y agoThe journalist never claimed he was deliberately hurting shareholder value...
