This is the new President's Twitter account. https://twitter.com/martysg

In his bio... “you tweet some funny sh-t!” “Once you get hooked on airlines it’s worse than dope”

I'm warming.
Agreed. It's in all of our best interest that we root her on to keep the momentum going.

Sometimes it's just better with MSG

Was sorry to see him go... Was at LAN in Chile for a number of years.

Glad he's back. Smart guy, passionate about this stuff.

I'm warming.
It’s more of the BOD choosing all 3 pres/CEO/COO. I’m sure she has input, and I doubt she opposes the choices, but I’d be shocked if she had the power to select/appoint people to those roles.

He was here largely before my time. I have seen nothing but great remarks about his return. Why is that?

Well my one and only time interacting with him was in the midst of our contract negotiations….

We were an hour late in LGA because they delayed the flight to wait for him to get there since he needed to get to MCO. He walks on the plane, stuck his head in the flight deck, and said not a word other than “I need one of you to come out and do a stand up PA.” We must have both looked at him like he had 4 heads on his shoulders because he turned around and slammed the flight deck door shut.

When we got there and he finished trash diving the cabin he walked by us like we were not even there. Other than that, I don’t know much about him but I got the impression burned in my mind.

Ouch, that's not a good look... Not gonna happen MSG.

Other than that, I think it's a good thing he's back.

Hey, thats fine by me. Let the juicers be at the management level, since their bonuses are directly tied to our operation.

So, you’re saying none of them got bonuses the last few years?
