Interesting arguments, Richard is now running a Co. without a dedicated work force and he is not getting much traction.

Why was Delta such a inept poor airline before RA took over? Did the employees get together and all decide to do a better job? Why did Delta have something like 24 years as the number 1 customer service airline and drop to near dead last after Ron Allen took over. Did all the employees simply decide to perform poorly?

Any manning doc. says that V.P. of Personnel is not in the line of succession, however, maybe just this once.

Probably laying off your great staff in large numbers under the 7.5 program, and replacing them with temps had something to do with it.

This. And when you go through bankruptcy the disgruntled are weeded out leaving the optimistic employees and they have been rewarded nicely and are pretty much happy and satisfied. Especially today.

So your making my point! Would those not be management decisions?

The employees could have been salty in the wake of the bankruptcy, and the merger like during the bad times in the 90s.

This is partially true. Having vacated a sinking ship in a different industry, many of the optimists fled for greener pastures. Often the optimists are the top performers and have good job prospects elsewhere, assuming they are not hamstrung by a seniority list like airline pilots.

Yes! Nothing like layoffs, temps and increased workload to improve morale. If you want your severance package, train your replacement on the way out.

Hmmmmmmm. Interesting article. EB says Trainor made $100 million last year and Delta is NOT trying to sell it.
