I can't resist jumping in on this debate over Schuyler, being around at the time and following the events closely.
I recall (but cannot prove as my source has long become stale) that Chowdry had little respect for R.Schuyler. I believe that Chowdry's intention was to keep Schuyler around solely to tap his proven financial skills. Skills that would be contained as long as Chowdry was around to hold Schuyler's leash. After the sad tragedy of 01/01, the fox then entered the chicken coop unsupervised. Schuyler was razor sharp, not stupid. He knew what he was doing.
Sadly, it would have been interesting to know what Chowdry would have done otherwise later that year, if only he were alive back then. Atlas Air was Chowdry's baby, and he like any proud father, would never dare to jeopardize it .. My worthless two cents. . . now please back to the topic.
