When GD was appointed CEO of QF he is made the trustee of the airlines brand for his term. That means up holding its reputation for safety, customer service and goodwill. When he departs that reputation should have at least been maintained if not enhanced. He and his team have failed completly. If the board and new Chairman are unable to see that Rome is burning and dismiss the current management team them the institutions who are the major shareholders should call a special shareholders meeting and vote out the entire board. They dont want to delude themselves Rome is burning, they are fiddling.
