Yes, he is a Gary appointee. Weird choice, but nobody here knows what is going on in the board right now. They may be drawing battle lines and having an Elliot appointee as chair may not have been in the majority's best interest. Gangwal is clearly driving the bus right now with bleeding the company of cash reserves and other financial trickery to pay the shareholders. The timing and hasty nature of his exit makes me think that maybe the majority (SWA picks still hold a slight majority of board seats) has had enough.
Yeah, who knows, it seems we are making big changes all across the organization in terms of leadership and product. Right about the time I think things are settling down, some new "fleet committee" announcement comes up lol. I don't think you need an entirely new committee just to manage various versions of a 737 seating arrangement, but then again, this is WN, and if anyone can micromanage and yank the reins constantly, it's us.
