I believe he aligned himself with the DPA early on. So, he has been on both sides of the aisle.
I don't know him personally but, I believe heading into bankruptcy, he blinked. That said, who wouldn't. He had 12000 pilots counting on him.
The biggest issue for me is that we need someone who is a leader first, not a politician first. Is Malone that guy...I don't know.
