Don't think for a min that a pilot would not get whacked if he/she was responsible for the cancellation of 1 or 2 flights as a result of "poor performance". Strong rumors coming from DFW that he is a dead man walking. We will see, maybe they will give him a bonus for leadership durning self inflicted system failure. Time will tell
Your tirade is very misdirected.... DF, along with the presidents of the other two WOs, are most likely just mere figureheads, with Dallas being the string pullers. While it is very likely that someone in a very high position will be without a job after this all settles, to put the blame on any one person is way out of place. When we live in a world that relies so much on technology for day to day operations, this kind of situation is bound to rear its ugly head.... it's happened to both Southwest and Delta both this year already.
