In hindsight you now criticize the State's leaders for giving Skybus some breaks to get it started. If it had been the success it was believed it could be (by smart investors who actually reviewed the business plan and had their own experts scrutinize it in detail before investing), you would likely be praising their insight in helping to make this happen. As one blogger wrote, Ohio needs more efforts like Skybus not less. Failure indicates a try. And the only thing that is worse than failure is not trying at all. I will not get into why SKybus failed, but it was not high oil prices or the economy, it was mismanagement by the Skybus board and its CEO and COO. The Skybus plan will be repeated and with success with the right management and dutiful board. It will not likely ever be attempted again in Ohio with all the Monday morning quarterbacking by you and others with no real understanding or solutions to make Ohio thrive economically. Give them credit for trying, and they might try again. And, you, if you are not part of the solution your complaining is part of the problem.
