You are probably correct, but who cares if Smisek gets some credit for this. At some point peace has to be made (assuming they want it) and JS is the CEO, like him or not. I can guarantee you after 9+ years of hammering Tilton we got less than zero out of all the antics.

But you sure had better give credit to JH and some to JP (he actually came on board after being shown the truth) for getting this done!
Different coach different game plan. Tilton never had the first inclination to run an airline. He was brought in to do a bankruptcy that's his specialty. Smisek is supposed to be running a company with a future game plan beyond simply taking it through bankruptcy and then off loading it.
