It's interesting how there are a lot of people down on Mr. Smisek. It seem to me that just before the merger there were a lot more people that would have sold their souls to get rid of Mr. Tilton. Many of which were saying "we just want your management". Mr. Smisek was the CEO for a few month at CAL before the merger. I think the person most people wanted was Bethune. He was gone, so be carful what you wish for.
