Airlines, he says, are uniquely vulnerable and volatile--even "the latest darling of the industry, JetBlue." "Are we worse run than automobiles? Than the steel companies?" asks Grinstein. "Bob Crandall [former American Airlines CEO] used to say the difficulty in this industry is that you're at the mercy of your dumbest competitor."
