Kirby is running a huge grift. There's a steady stream of false, positive PR that everyone feeds on because they want to believe. Nobody ever goes back to demand accountability for all of the false positive information that repeatedly fails to pan out. Just see the predictions for the return of the 777 and the return of "normal" traffic and revenue that he has touted over and over for the last 2.5 years. Look at the utter debacle that is the current state of crew staffing. Do you honestly think that Carlson was great at his job just because he would answer pilot emails? He left with the staffing in complete shambles.
Kirby will be succeeded by a Tilton who is brought in to clean up the mess that nobody could ever have seen coming (sarcasm intended).
Boom, Aviate, biggest and crappiest RJ operation, Asian flying that may never return to historical levels, subservient and compliant MEC leadership, poor product and a naive and untested majority in the pilot group are all headed toward a very predictable result.
Now, bring on the polyannas and apologists.
