Harwood is the token snake in the grass sore loser. His product got shot down, and he wants a scapegoat. Freaking pathetic. He can't accept that he under delivered and what was going to happen happened. He cannot accept that he failed...after all, he is the smartest man in the room.
Bartels is one vote. One. TA 2015 failed in an unprecedented manner for one reason: it was a poor product.
Harwood has gone from being the "smartest guy in the room" (in his own mind) to the "village idiot" (in the minds of most Delta pilots). Nobody wants to hear from him anymore. The sooner he internalizes that, the sooner he can start to heal himself.
