Not disagreeing with you in the least — but on top of that, does Robin actually
do anything? Even when there are meltdowns, you barely see his name mentioned.
Even if Joanna were one of the best execs in the world, asking her to be in charge of operations, president, and de facto CEO seems like a lot.
Sadly I think the NK bid makes the chance of anyone being run out of town for the recent delays even lower -- they have to save face.
