RA is our CEO of Delta and all it's subsidiaries. We only have Presidents to lead the three wholly owned carriers, who are personally chosen by RA himself. I think RA's doing a great job at keeping you guys in the cockpit and off the street. RA is bound by the contracts signed by the previous Delta CEO's so he has to make the cuts from where he can. There are some that think it's personal or a "vendetta"; especially here at Comair. The whole thing with the shrinking of the wholly owned carriers is just business.
