Of course then there's the lovely QCQ2 quarterly training flail...."remain calm, all is WELL!"
Which all begs the question is this guy the best we can do?
Of course corporate comms says all the right things..."We're addressing these issues..next time we'll be ready...etc...." All of which I've heard before...none of which turns out to be true....
If I'm Eddie B. I'm at Davos/Bilderberg (or wherever those guys hang out) trying to poach somebody from Google, Amazon, or Apple's IT to bring aboard a team that can address these issues. Since I know he's on here reading everything we post...
PS: Bombay U? Thought the PC term was Mumbai nowadays?
He joined Delta in Feb of 2016, the groundwork for some of these disasters was in place before he arrived. I'm still cheering for his success, because it matters to the success of the company. His accomplishments within Delta will build a solid foundation for the rest of the company. It is somewhat different than cheering for the SVP of Flight Ops, because his objectives include reducing pilot costs and improving pilot efficiency.
As for the QCQ2 disaster, I suspect there is some Flight Ops influence. Does our IT department fully control the method of content delivery for training within each department?
