Time for another installment.

Alex is out as International CEO. I do not know the entire story but the organization has been bleeding cash since before Beaufort. Beaufort only made it worse. Hopefully her Boy Toy Rudy went with her. What a jackass.

Apparently, in a move to get some cash, it was floated to sell the building in Beaufort then lease it back. Sounds like a desperate Home Equity Loan. I believe it fell through.

My protege, Seth, turned in his resignation. His last day is the 23rd. That leaves Jason and Dean. And Dean does not travel. Two new guys were hired last month but, without prior experience, you can't hit the ground running in this gig.

Jason says he's just going along for the ride now, but I don't know how long before he says, "Screw This", and bails. He has more seniority with American Airlines than most of the pilots and flight attendants, he could probably go there as spokesman. Christ, they should name a plane after him. Preferably an Airbus, though.

Speaking of Jason, the honeymoon between him and Eric ended a while ago. Jason has been on a tear about the piss poor quality of the new machines that were delivered to California. Eric got sick of listening to Jason and sent his new engineer he hired to shut Jason down. Much to Eric's chagrin, the new engineer told Eric that the machines are terrible and he's lining up trucks to ship them back.

Back to Alex. I have no idea if she was canned or reassigned. She is a cousin of the owner, so who knows. Maybe she's a new hostess at one of his restaurants in Singapore or Hong Kong.
