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.
If you listen to her on these earning calls, I really don't quite understand what she does on a day to day basis. She doesn't seem to handle the costs or the revenue or route planning side of things. I think Robin is still more in strategic vision side of things, whatever that means.
Everything under her control is a disaster. Overall, this ultimately falls on the board. They made a decision to elevate her and it's a terrible decision. I think things would be a lot better if they bring someone in from the outside to replace Robin and let that person figure out who to keep around.
