Sad news, former Delta COO Hollis Harris passed away today.

Hollis was a class act, one of the last true Delta family.

In my tenure at DAL, I had the opportunities to shake hands with Dave Garrett, Ron Allen, Leo Mullen, and Grinstein. Small conversations with each. But also had the absolute pleasure of meeting Hollis and having a number of conversations with him. Without question, in my mind, he was the finest of them all. He was a true airline builder. What could have been had he been given full reins of the ship. RIP, sir.
