I wasn’t talking about feelings. But OK. I think it was more of an emotional move on Ed’s part to go to Paris than to stay at the helm. But whatever.

With as much as this Company does that is about optics I think this is a blunder on Ed’s part but you are right it will be OBE very soon.

The appearance of impropriety is impropriety. The optics are the reality. He should have delayed. But he didn’t want to. Would his staying at the helm in ATL have made any difference? I don’t know. But the optics of him leaving make him appear callous and uncaring. Bad decision in my opinion.

he delayed his trip 2 days. The operation was pretty much back to normal. What do you want him to do to help? Go sling some bags or fly a plane. It was right for him to go since we are the Team USA Sponsor. His job is being the CEO, he has to go do CEO things. Just stick to flying the plane and getting your GS / RR pay
The one visual that keeps coming back is a large group of elderly people in wheelchairs trying to get to a South American destination, presumably for medical care. When the flight(s) cancelled everyone walked away. It isn't anyone's job to run a wheelchair shuttle, but the customers' most immediate needs were getting to the bathroom. I do not know what happened to them overnight. My best guess is that they sat there in their wheelchairs. These little gaggels of wheelchair bound passengers were all over the international concourse.
