She knew his predecessor as VP Marketing quite well, as did I.<br /><br />She was speaking about Crandall, Boyd and Kelleher's knowledge of the industry, in global terms, not just an ability to run an airline.Aviator47https://www.blogger.com/profile/05585964386930142907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381917167978264683.post-82770665908263500192011-12-15T09:25:21.399-08:002011-12-15T09:25:21.399-08:00Al -

And I think I agree more with Arpey than the board. Although you have to wonder how could they compete otherwise, not that I care about their competitive posture, but what would happen to their 78,000(?) employees if they went out of business. Let's hope the new CEO, Horton, is just in there for a short term. <br /><br />I was amazed at the seat capacity of over 100 million seats. Yet they are only the 4th largest airline in the world??? And Boyd's figures show them increasing that capacity. And with fuel costs you would think they would be ordering more 787s instead of Airbuses. Then that may have more to do with Boeing's manufacturing capacity.<br /><br />Again, thanks for responding. BTW ask your wife not to forget Bill Ayer, CEO of my favorite airline, as one of the aviation smart guys.mikenoreply@blogger.com
