Yes - I was interested to hear what other FTers think his accomplishments have been - clearly he has the confidence of the board -- 10 years + for a CEO is a long run. That's why I asked about the "innovations and positives."

He certainly seems to have done a good job on the financial side, and he figured a way to get BA staked to a wider footprint with IB, EI and picking up the BD slots/routes was a smart move.

I haven't seen any real innovation beyond finding ways to save money - MF, BOB, cost-cutting.

Am interested to see if others see things he has brought to the table I'm missing.
