I've met JT several times and I'm definitely a supporter, but I am also cognisant of the fact that everyone (including me) was behind JB when he arrived as well. It's very easy to say what you would do when you don't have the authority to do it, (and let me say at the outset, pilots are the world champions in that area), but until you actually have the reins, it's all speculation. My support for JT stems from the fact that he at least had some ideas (JB seems to have been bereft of them since he decided to order the 330's) and the one that he was allowed to implement (economy X) has been a huge success, so on that basis I figure we can't be any worse off and I hope the shareholders let him have a roll of the dice.
Don't forget also that JT implemented the "Champions of Better" slogan and he may even have coined the "uptimism" crap. I'm not a big fan of stupid words and slogans. I prefer policy and vision.
