Fornaro is in his 70's and sits on the BOD of a couple different airlines at the moment. Avianca and WestJet. And now SWA. He is not a friend of labor. I don't think he wants the job even if they ask. This place is a mess corporate governance wise. Throw in the fleet problem's, network problem's and product problem's. That's a tall order for any executive. Plus we have the most heavily unionized airline in the US. I said in a previous post, he has perspective. He was an executive at a network, LCC and ULCC. BJ put him on the BOD to tell the institutional investors he has airline executive on the BOD(non SWA). Nothing more.

GK is retiring as well as six board members. It's still not enough for EM and the other top institutional investors. BJ's days are numbered. When EM calls for a special meeting for the BOD which will happen soon, he's gone. Richard Anderson is a rumor floating around but he's up their in age also. Delta of today is mostly a product of him. He handed the keys over to Bastian. He did an amazing job realigning their network after chapter 11. He's not a friend of labor either. Imagine if they bring a CEO on that doesn't have airline experience? Delta guys can you tell you stories about Leo Mullin. That worries me more.
