Every airline can be great or HELL depending on who they hire as a CEO and President. AA will have their day at the top and bottom just like everyone else has.
Yep.
Delta wasn't always sunshine and lollipops.
Some would say that Leo was pretty crappy mgmt. He brought in all sorts of people from banking and utilities who didn't understand airlines in the least.
And he made sure a few dozen of them got bankruptcy-proof pensions (and lifetime positive space 1st class travel) before he-and they-all bailed.
You are right. It's a huge mistake to think that anything stays the same very long in this industry.
