Scott Kirby sure likes to gamble with everyone's career the way he runs that place.
In the early 2000s Leo Mullin had a vision for Delta to "fly from anywhere to everywhere". Bankruptcy soon followed. Now Delta is the most profitable airline and mostly stays on the beaten path. Seems to make sense.
Loved the social media influencer campaign leading up to this "big" announcement. I'm sure Greenland and Mongolia and some cities in Spain and Portugal that probably only Hemmingway have ever been to will excite everyone and will be major revenue generators.
wow what amazing analysis...9/11, spiking fuel prices, failure to cut costs, competition from startup ulccs...hmmm, nowhere in contemporary expert analyses is your supposed cause of the 2005 bk mentioned...they could've used your insightful and creative insight back then, you missed your true career calling, genius
oh and FOUR of the majors were in bk then as well...but that's just coincidence right? not global market factors at all
