Airline quote

From a Yahoo News story:

"This is an ultimate disaster for airlines and all of our customers, who will be horribly inconvenienced," says James May, the [Air Transport Association's] president and CEO.

What's the ultimate disaster for the airline industry?

Congress wants to extend daylight savings for a couple of weeks. You know, so that it (in NYC, anyway) it doesn't get dark at 4pm come mid-November.

Programming expense, maybe... but "ultimate disaster"?

While we're at it, can someone explain how changing daylight savings time affects livestock?

Is it that hard for the cows to change their alarm clocks?

One has to wonder, given September 11th, what on Earth this person was thinking. "Ultimate disaster" my eye. Personally, I feel not even a tinge of sympathy for airlines that are filing for Chapter 11. Could their priorities be any more completely out of whack?
