Sad to say but this is an example of how the power of branding can be used to manipulate consumer beliefs/confidence. All for the purposes of profit. At the end of the day, Disney is the majority shareholder and Disney is in business to provide shareholder equity (not make kids happy) and their board determines how they do that. The National Geographic brand may take a bruise on this one if the public domain chooses to make it an issue. My two cents.

My thought on who to be "ultimately pleased" as you reference, is not the customer (assuming you are referring to passengers as the "customer") but the shareholders. Boeing may be a good case study. My 2 cents worth.

But then again, Trump would never be caught going to any site that had a gravel runway. A rougher-than-normal landing could ruffle that hairdo.

Indeed. Very desperate times call for desperate measures. Easy for some to pontificate from the comfort of a non-war zone.

Is this the sadly needed quality control resource that would take this site up a notch? Let us hope so.
