We flew Alitalia last week and I heard them say no CD players allowed, but I didn’t catch the part about no GameBoys. My 7 year old used his Nintendo DS Lite during both our Alitalia flights. Good thing the Alitalia flight attendants aren’t actually enforcing these rules. ;-)

Sometimes the first step is asking everyone to write business justifications for things like their periodical subscriptions and mobile phones. In this fashion they might cut 10% from non-core operating expenses but lose whatever little productivity they had in the process.

Then they lose any remaining good people and can enjoy their misery until bankruptcy, a private equity buy-out, or a slow natural ceasing of operations.

So not villain, but scared man, I think :-)
