Forbes has solved the mystery of "Where Was Ed?"

Click it and draw your own conclusions. It's a short read, and fascinating.

I honestly couldn't care less that he didn't show up to the meeting. I don't feel like it would have changed a thing, other than "optics" that seem to make some feel good. That said, I'll go ahead and screen shot this and save it for the unlikely day they try to work me into my vacation.

So Ed couldn't cancel his vacation to meet with the president over an issue that he has claimed threatens the core nature of our business, but planning can cancel your vacation because in a 12 month window they couldn't put you in another training slot...

He probably didn’t feel like getting yelled at and called a liar by someone who already had their mind made up.

Delta could have sent GH or someone similar. But Delta did not. So the absence-was-not-a-political-statement line is more bovine excrement.
