Delta Names New CEO
August 22 2007 08:06 am
You’ll can certainly read more about this elsewhere, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Delta has named former Northwest CEO Richard Anderson as their new chief executive. Anderson is known for making tough but fair decisions, though Northwest lost a nice chunk o’ change under his leadership. Although I’m not expecting a Delta/Northwest linkup, I would expect them to take a page from Northwest’s playbook and expand their Asian services.
I’m always curious, though, for an industry that consistently loses a ton of money, why do airlines keep choosing CEOs from within the industry?

Jared, that’s an easy answer — airlines are very environmentally friendly. They are big fans of recycling!!

It hasn’t been that long since Leo Mullin was at the helm.
