Sadly, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs.

I'll put Richard Anderson up against that statement as an exception.

Yep. Left top spot at UHC for Delta. Many asked why he would make such a move and he stated he liked running an airline. He's very good at it.

Would it be any worse of a disaster than it has under Carty, Arpey, and Horton?

The doc that has done 10,000 of them in this case has lost 9,990 patients on the table.

Not to defend the man and his cronies in ANY way. But I must admit that DP has done a good job at polishing this turd of an airline. The metrics and revenue figures speak for themselves.. He is interested in running an airline. Something that TH, and his predecessors, have failed doing miserably.

You're supposed to put just one knee down, and put a ring on their finger. It's also police to face towards the people you propose to, not away.
