The other side of the coin was that Lawson's concerns were dead accurate as proven by the disappearance of his airline. He had tried to get scope which bound Delta, but Woerth would not allow it. I think Prater later did allow a commitment from Delta to Comair and subsequently Moak authorized Pinnacle / Endeavor.
OK, fair enough. I think a great way to alleviate his concerns (and more importantly, represent his people) would have been follow your advice, and work with us, rather than against.
I'll assume you're correct about your facts, in which case it would show an instance of Prater and Moak getting something wrong, and Woerth getting it right. I know of no instance of Prater getting anything right, but now we can score one positive for Woerth. I think Moak did many things right, but fell too deeply in love with his own irresistible ascent, and some of his most effective tactics.
But I think you're getting me to equate Lawson with Wychor. Am I correct? Take away the personal insult to the Delta furloughees, and the lawsuit via the RJDC proxy, and we're there.
