Trix, that airline is American. You're talking about Bob Crandall.
My favorite Bob Crandall story was when he was not quite CEO but some senior VP.
He saw that he had security guards working 8 hour shifts at a maintenace facility.
He figured that was too costly so he fired a couple guard and made them work 12 hours shift.
He thought that was still too costly so he fired all the guards and bought in guard dogs with a handler to feed them.
That was still too costly for him, so he got rid of the dog and installed motion sensors that played tapes of dogs barking if they were tripped.
Heard the story in school so it may be diluted, but funny nonetheless.
