We lost our network genius. I was hoping he'd be our next CEO.

Not good.

I’d have to assume that someone who has worked with Glen for several decades knows a thing or two…at least I really hope. Agree with all above sentiments.

This is not me complaining about him, but isn't one of the key complaints that our network is on the verge of being overshadowed by United and already there with regards to international with perhaps way too much focus on ATL?

Agreed.

I think between his age and Ed’s recent public comments about not wanting to retire anytime soon, he decided to hang it up.

That's a valid criticism but it was a redesign to maximize international revenue. The TPAC stuff is "in the can" I'd expect. The 787 rumor bubble just popped because (I think) Glen didn't get his shiny new toys.

keep in mind that Kirby has effectively decided to go all in on a AI tech mentality. what could go wrong?

I hear Vasu is looking for a job, he's got experience.

Agree. We are losing a brilliant man. The cult of EB grows stronger

JE will replace him, he's no GH though. Really sad to see him go. This is going to have an strategic impact on us and not in a good way.
