That was just embarrassing.

I think Bud's plan to try to make BlueStar Airlines more profitable wasn't as laughable as most people think. If anybody saw the sequel to Wall Street, Bud took over BlueStar Airlines as President after he served time in jail and made it a very profitable airline. He is now retired and living the life he always wanted. I guess his 3 point plan worked afterall.
That wasn't part of Bud's 3-point plan. That was mostly due to Larry Wildman manipulating the stock price to the point that Gekko wanted to dump his shares. Wildman was only willing to do this if A) He could burn Gordon ass and 2) Get majority shares of the company with Union concessions to cut down operating expenses. As we saw earlier in the film, Wildman was himself taking a different path as WS player where before he was like Gekko, only 5 times bigger, but now really wanted to build companies for the long haul. He also was eager to hire Bud after his stint in prison, so again in no way did Bud incorporate the Larry Wildman's involvement into his initial 3-point plan.

If bud testified against gecko why did he get jail time and gecko got LESS time then bud. Never rat out, sell out or punk out is the best 3 point plan.
IMDB as of late, sold out and became like City Data and about.com, worthless bureaucrats. -

I thought Bud's "three point plan" was brilliant! My company is not doing well financially so although I am a lowly employee, I am going to take a "three point plan" to the Board of Directors. I'm sure they will be duly impressed with the "three point plan"
I will report back once they have appointed me President

I have always thought the same thing. This was a 'plan"? It sounded like common sense & not even very common.
Increase advertising? What, with those 20% pay cuts? Expand terminals & routes? And computerize? Any first year college student (or less) could have come up with this crap.
