Nearly half a dozen U.S. airlines have closed their doors or filed for bankruptcy in the past few months. While the theories about their demise are broad and varied, one fact is certain: Poor Management Doesn’t Help.

The questions are mounting...

1. Why did the management of ABX Air refuse to even discuss ASTAR’s
   expression of interest?
2. Is ABX Air leaving money on the tarmac?
3. Has DHL lost faith in ABX management?
4. What does it say when someone cares more about the parachute
   than the plane?
5. Where’s the synergy in having three separate operations perform
   identical tasks?
