I feel bad for Whitehurst. Seems to have a lot of passion for the airline business....hopefully he'll stay.

So our new CEO is McGyver?

I can't get on our ALPA BB....must be overloaded!

Delta has been working to fix a revenue problem and making good progress. Jim Whitehurst is responsible for much of that improvement.

Further, Jim Whitehurst connected with many employees who had their pride restored in Delta Air Lines. This was being reflected in the customers' favorable experiences when travelling on Delta.

I'm hopeful that there is some good news in this somewhere for Whitehurst and that he will keep up the good job at Delta.

I have to say in my experiences flying CEOs around while furloughed, Whitehurst simply wasn't tall enough.

Hiring an executive search firm (which we also did on my board) adds another dimension and complexity. Whatever the case, I wish Delta the best.

Richard Anderson? Isn't that McGyver, an actor of some renown? Chuck Norris with brains?
Isn't McGyver Richard Dean Anderson? AKA Colonel Jonathan "Jack" O'Neill.

FWIW...Businessweek.com reports Whitehurst notified them " I have not resigned, and I have no intention of resigning".
