I don't think there are many people nominating Dougie for CEO of the decade or even year, but he has taken two distressed airlines with weak networks and cobbled them into an entity that has survived and is still at the table.
Aside from maybe Anderson and DL management, I can't see any other legacy carrier where one can show that their management team is streets ahead of Team Dougie.
AApologist Warning: This post is not to award Dougie - it is simply a statement of fact that he has done as good a job as anyone could conceive of with the cards he was given. If you want to hold the fact that he started from the weakest point of any existing legacy against him - feel free - but that doesn't reflect on his management ability.
