That's not correct.
Bob Edwards is SVP and Chief Information Officer. Promoted after the original "old" UAL individual resignation about a year ago.
The IT group had absolutely nothing to do with the capability and procedural planning on IPAD issues. That is highly unusual given the size of the budgetary item. Individuals within the department "wished" that they had been part of the planning process. The "unsmooth" nature of implementation and time will tell if that will ultimately be unfortunate.
Zane Roe held Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at the "new" UAL from the outset and the relative position at "old" CAL for many years. John Rainey worked directly for Zane Roe as a SVP. Both have zero to do with IT issues except those germane to finance.
