I don’t post here often but when I read this something inside me said hmmm. 20 employees on same flight with semiconductor knowledge. Probably a coincidence....
I would bet that they were not 20 upper-level decision makers for Freescale. Sounds ghoulish, I know, but most companies I’ve worked for in the past 30 years had strict policies about upper management traveling together, for just this reason.
Can you imagine the future of Freescale Semiconductor if it turns out that a large portion of their Board of Directors was on that airplane?
