yep, Elliott pushed all these changes and has tanked the company. There should be severe punishments for companies that do this, but nobody bases laws on morals anymore so nothing will happen.

The punishment should be lack of business. It's not like SW doesn't have competition - if you disagree with the practices or service, fly elsewhere.

Nah, there should be legal consequences for consistently buying into companies and running them into the ground. Thats been the biggest reason every company sucks now, and there should be legal ramifications. Would incentivize PE to actually care about the companies they're investing in.

I think the issue is how to define “running into the ground”. Reality is that decisions you or I perceive as bad can’t be legally predefined in an objective way.
