Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Besides, Comair management didn't manage Comair, Delta managed Comair. The only thing the Comair management managed was the day-to-day operations. Any actual business decisions associated with Comair were made in ATL.
It's going to be the same story when Pinnacle becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta. Pinnacle management won't have any real control over the company.
He does know how to turn off the lights at an airline, though.
