Thanks For The Thumbs Up
Our September schedule experienced such revolutionary change never ever seen before in the history of the company. For the first time ever neither FedEx or UPS are featured. Sure we have kept our relationship strong with good old Air New Zealand, our JFK office and Qantas continue their love affair, and Atlanta, so reliant in the past on UPS as was LAX, is completely out of the picture, and in two words I say, “Good riddance.”
The great thing about this change is the feedback has been so positive. I will concede Peter Lamy and I are a couple of conservative “old farts” and we are a little slow at reading the writing on the wall. Maybe we hung in for too long with FedEx and UPS, but when our personal lives are all about longstanding friendships, this trait crept into how we do business. Peter is a little younger than me and still retains a hugely youthful vision about life and business. For me, an old salt, sometimes I readily admit I am an anachronism. Thank goodness, CII is run by a committee chaired by Pete, with only one vote coming from the old goat! Decisions are made after thoughtful argument and consensus of opinion. With that said, perhaps Pete and I should be in the White House and not running a small business. Only kidding! We could never match what Ms. Palin and her husband bring the table on the Washington Beltway.
It was a little courageous to make change at the peak of the silly season but we believe the timing was right in spite of and your comments of support have been most encouraging. Thank you, indeed.
