This may not be a popular statement but I believe that menhke came in thinking he would be running the company, then he found out that delta would be controlling everything. I believe his tears were real and were probably out of frustration. I generally believe he was a good guy and probably wanted out but they gave him that money to shut up. This guy although he is a bankruptcy specialist has nothing but good reviews from his former employees. This confirms to me that we are under complete control of delta airlines
