From a friend who works inside the Kremlin:

The choice years ago was her or Robin as CEO and they went with Robin because he had "airline experience." They positioned her as COO so she can have "experience" and become our next CEO.

My take: Someone must have been tricked into thinking she does a good job. OTP was as much her baby as Jeff's and it's a massive failure. Our terrible healthcare (which can be attributed to ALPA finally coming on property) was her project. Cabin cleaning is her big pet peeve. Poor work relations between the pilots/flight attendants (and even LSC office staff) and upper management can be directly attributed to her attitude towards employees.

Seems like a terrible choice for someone to "run the operation." I guess we can look forward to even more days of no pre-cancellations and 9 hour delays during a blizzard that takes days to recover from while everyone else precancels and recovers in less than a day.
