The employees didn't like Smisek - what did the pilots call him, FLIBS? The customers didn't like him. He presided over a merger that made UA's operations an awful mess, a merger that will be taught in B schools for years on how to not do it.

Seems like the only people who liked him were the analysts who fawned all over him. Why wouldn't most people respond to Kirby's comments with glee?
