leaders knowledge bio chemist industry leaders has agreed to take up the position leaders has agreed to take up the position of the chair of the vtr. richard position of the chair of the vtr. richard brings to that experience from richard brings to that experience from leadership positions in both the public from leadership positions in both the public and private sector and i m delighted to have them on board to lead i m delighted to have them on board to lead the i m delighted to have them on board to lead the team in the next stage of this to lead the team in the next stage of this mission. mr speaker, this race of this mission. mr speaker, this race between vaccines and the virus, it isn t race between vaccines and the virus, it isn t over race between vaccines and the virus, it isn t over yet. these difficult restrictions and challenge our lives in so restrictions and challenge our lives in so many restrictions and challenge our lives in so many ways. but they
contests are in iowa and in new hampshire. retail politics and governor christie is at his best retail politics in those types of states. so the position of the folks in iowa and republican party leaders are saying i don t want to meddle in your politics but what do we know about bridgegate? it is only a mirror to the ineptness of this administration and that s what i m talking about. there is a culture that started before he was the governor in this state. it started when he gave a $52 million contract to his former boss. if you or i did that or if leonard did that we would be in the caboose by now. the fact of the matter is ashworth did not perform. we covered over what prosthetic industry had done bribe doctors and medicare cases for hip re replacement replacement. he did that before he was governor. he is being exposed right now. i wished him well.
though his company was growing, the market for vinyl was shrinking and his competitors were struggling. ashworth realized he was in the midst of a full-blown industry shakeout, something new to his competition but not new to him. i had the experience of working for large companies that saw those kinds of opportunities in their markets. so, what i was able to do is take that skill set and apply it to a very small market. ashworth took advantage of this outsider s insight to buy up his competitors at fire sale prices. in a lot of industries when there is a decline in the market, folks rationalize or think about whether or not they want to still be in a particular business or not. and from our standpoint it is a question of saying to them, listen, we can do it probably a

breaks apparently just about ashworth as legally possible so people say they re overworked and they re not on a on a base salary that if they get paid for their flight schedules that they have a hard time also they can have a count on how much money they have at the end of the month which is obviously not something that they want to deal with on on on a monthly basis it s also if they re sold works also safety issues and it probably is as well of course for the pilots at least of course is also the cabin crews are for them it s maybe a little bit less a safety but they just generally don t like the environment they re working in they also complain about a very rude tone from management so that is for something that is more easy to change other things like pay of course a lot more difficult that ruto may only be set by the very top boss if i might add . what does it mean for ryan given the strong competition by other low cost carriers well for them it puts them really in an existential
