If they are going to change the memphass culture like they have been saying for the past year and a half, then the changes must come from the top. We've seen little changes here and there the last few months, but to get rid of the pilot hating mentality, corp needs an enema. Seeing Philldo go is a good thing. Hopefully they will get someone in there who is a believer in working with their employees, not just hammering on them with the "big stick" mentality that they have been using since long before I got here.

Dal4ever has the situation pegged. Being a consultant is just part of the pay out. CEO's do not leave without a successor in the wings - unless it is involuntary.

Sounds like you guys are in for a good game of (Duck-Duck-Goose)......

Like any corporate management, no matter if your a Duck or A Goose, they all sit around and play the same game. I wonder who the next player is

I heard that Herb Kehler is coming out of retirement to become the next Pinnacle CEO. Wouldnt that be NUTS!

LOL....... Maybe he and his attorneys are jotting down notes on napkins as we type.

You never know....... maybe he could use those napkins to clean up the mess.

In all seriousness........ I hope it works out for you guys/gals.

Hmmm John Bendoraitis from Comair is going to need a new office after he finishes shutting us down.

Never happen, Pinnacle won't hire a smoker!

And a CEO like this... who loves being in the public spotlight in MEM. He was told to leave.

This was a known event, maybe not publicly, but known.

While I generally agree with you, and it might still be the case here, there are times when executives leave with the general "to pursue other interests" line because the "other interest" has not made an official announcement yet about the executive's hiring.

Just saying.
