What did you expect him to say? "Our operations stank this summer be cause the management sucks" - I don't think that is going to happen. That statement is just some spin. However, I do have confidence that Isom will get it together. He did a great job as the COO at US and now that penny-pinching Kirby is out of the way, he can focus on running a operationally strong carrier...
