Moak should get credit for doing a good job. But it is infinitely easier to do a good job in that case than in the USAir merger.
US/AW was argueable irreconcileable from the get go, and in any case the potential of the end result was minimal even if everything went perfectly. DL/NW was vastly different on all accounts. I guess Kennedy was a better president than Adams because Adams lacked the vision for a goal oriented space program.

Uh... OK... I think. Last I checked, Lee had nothing to do whatsoever with US/AW. What's your point? I'm not saying he could have done any better there either, but you seem to dismiss the accomplishments at DAl as "well... duh... anybody could have pulled that off." I happen to disagree with that assessment, that's all. US/AW is exactly what you said... irreconcileable, and I have no idea how it even enters into this discussion.

I understand your desire to be as negative as possible, lest you be forced to admit Moak did a good job. Gaze around the industry and give me your assessment of where Delta fits right now.
The merger was a success.
We are adding mainline aircraft, and parking RJs.
We are hiring.
We are adding flying.

No! No! No! Just the BAD stuff! He gets no credit. Acknowledging leadership is not something that's done by the keyboard warriors here at APC! Only failure is allowed to be recognized, but the frame-of-reference sometimes has to be shuffled awkwardly to make it work. In that regard, this is the home of genius!
The pilots at our peers, AMR, UAL, CAL...they're kicking our tails! Hiring more pilots, growing faster, tapped for larger Profit Sharing, and basking in the security of a well-executed merger.
Golly I wish I was there!
If Moak had been tougher and harnessed the anger of our pilot group, we'd be making as much as our brothers at AMR/CAL/UAL...and every RJ flying our code would have been replaced by DC-9s!

You've made your point. You're wasting your keystrokes here though.

The fact that you think any pilot from either said had THAT much to do with the success of the merger is LAUGHABLE. What egos....
