Not that long ago, before Reverend Bedford went off the reservation, the SAME could be said for him. He took CHQ from a crappy little turbo prop operator with a single mainline partner to what they were right before he went nuts with Midwest/Frontier.
AGAIN, you have to separate the pilot career from running a business/being a CEO understand what MatchPoint is getting at.
Not sure how happy "shareholders" are that the stock is down from over $40 bucks a share to hovering in the nines and low 10 range...
No one could have maintained a share price around $40 in this industry. Just look at the almighty Southwest.
