That idiot, Mullins had the company pay a PR firm a lotta money to come up with the idea to change the "Widget" to the "Smiley Faced One". Thank goodness Grinstein and company bent to employee pressure and change it back.
Quite Frankly I surprised Delta didn't repaint their fleet sooner.
Look at USAir, United and NW
It is a well known fact (Wharton MBA secret handhsake) that one of the first things you do as a new CEO (especially when the Airline is in Deep financial trouble) is repaint the entire fleet, shortly followed by screwing your employees with pay/benefit cuts and lower morale, followed by giving yourself and your cronies a big fat bonus for all you've done thus far..................Then you either resign or get fired and walk away with 20 or 30 million worth in a Golden Parachute. This CEO stuff ain't so hard.
