Are you sure about that? While I can't speak for the DCI carriers, the Senior Executive suite of Delta is comprised of the following:

Anderson - Delta
United Healthcare
NWA
Continental

Bastain - Delta
Acuity Brands
Delta

Gorman - Delta
Greyhound
Krispy Kreme
NWA

Becker - NWA
Dow Chemical

Campbell - Delta
Harrison & Ford
Continental

Hauenstien - Delta
Alitalia
Continental

Halter - Delta
American Airlines
Ernst & Young LLP

Hirst - NWA
Minnesota Twins
Burger King
KB Home
NWA

Newman - NWA
Numerous Law firms and Government positions

Walker - Delta
Continental
Frontier - Horizon (old ones)
TV journalist - KWGN

Wise - NWA


Seems to me that these folks change companies faster then a frat boy on a saturday night. None of them are true "company men." Don't expect them to run Delta just like NW was run.
