In addition, Delta's current CEO is the guy who gave us the RJs when he was at NWA (back when Mesaba was NWA's red headed stepchild, btw)...and he's also the guy who out of nowhere gave us 16 RJ900s outta ATL instead of Skywest/ASA, who have operated out of that airport forever. The rumor is that Anderson got Phil his job b/c they were biz school friends. That might not be true at all, but Anderson's actions towards 9E (the company, not the pilots!) have been favorable since his NWA days.
not only that, but anderson's gig after NW and before Delta was CEO of United Health Care. When he took over, what happened to PNCL's insurance plans for employees? That's right, swithced from Wassau Bennies to United Health Care. Then what happened: Anderson takes over at Delta and one of the first actions he takes is to give PNCL 16 900's. I certainly do not believe it is coincidence whatever the reasons may be.
