Is the intent of questioning why he even took the job there in some way relevant to current DAL issues? Or is it in some way to discredit the valid points he is making?
Why did any of us take any job? Why did any of us leave that job? Are stepping stone jobs in some way related to current reasoning skills?
You missed the whole point. He left TWA because after bankruptcy they stayed at the bottom of the industry. After bankruptcy, Pan Am, bottom of the industry. After bankruptcy Continental was bottom of the industry for 15 years, still has a joke for work rules. After bankruptcy, US Airways is sub-bottom of the industry and their contract is close to being exceeded by RJ carriers. Glad they have their successful DPA lawyer over there to lead them. No pay raises, bankrupt union, multiple lawsuits, no hope for a future, very rich lawyers. Excellent move, let's be like them.
After bankruptcy, Delta is second in the industry in a little over 3 years. So, sport, let me know any other carrier that has come even close to matching that record. That's my point. If I said we still don't have a long way to go, that would not be credible, to say we haven't come a long way already is also not credible.
We all had some other job before coming to Delta and I don't care what it was.
