IMHO, it's not the people, it's the
leadership (or lack thereof.)
DAL is kicking a$$ in 2015 with the same employees they had when they were "meh" (financially and operationally). Ditto for CAL in the 90's until Bethune showed up.
UCH has the best route structure and a decent fleet plan but has been missing the element that gets line employees motived to excel.
