I suspect UGBSM was referencing the other "RA" - Ron Allen, who is a Harvard Business School case study for how not to handle an airline acquisition (PanAm). CNBC loves him though so we have that going for us, which is nice.

The problem is that many times what looks good on paper doesn't actually translate into something good operationally in the real world. Part of the reason Richard was a better CEO than Ed is because Richard was much more of an operations guy, or at least surrounded himself with operations people, and made decisions that generally turned out ok in the field. Ed is a banker...all he cares about is what a calculator says. The results are out there for everyone to see.

Yeah that is very en vogue right now. Just like the MBA silliness of "lean manufacturing" and its "just in time" nonsense became all the rage in the 90's and early 2000's resulting in a comically fragile fair weather supply chain with a million points of failure, all to harvest that extra zero point something margin, so too is the over reliance on "big data" and spreadsheet models appearing to be operating well beyond their power curve.

LM was at the helm when 9/11 masked his ineptitude. He's on the flop list for sure too.

A laser light focus on improving our ESG score. (Environmental, Social, and Governance)
Which is actually a "thing". Especially the "S".
Like it or not, it's a good bet this is going to become more and more important going forward.
Understand what the ESG is, why it's important, and you'll have a better understanding on some of the very public messaging Delta is engaged in on an almost daily basis.

The good thing is that you're finally seeing public figures stand up to corporate wokeism. DeSantis in Florida with Disney is a perfect example.
