Whilst not being a fan of the transatlantic smooth salesman bulls**t that JH was so adept at; at least he could stand in front of his staff (and a TV camera) without looking like a rabbit caught in the headlights. He could talk the talk, and I reckon if the old man had put his hand in his own pocket a little more, instead of dreaming up ways of scamming cash from our partners (who were picking up the bill), he would have been able to 'walk the walk' and put the airline in a much better position than it is in now. Contrast his style of 'upfront, salesman' type leadership with the bl**dy shambles that has existed since NT took over. There has not been a single staff briefing as to the direction of the airline since he took over; the only time he could drag himself down to LHR for meetings with the pilots was when there was a real threat of industrial action about 3 years ago - and when he came he spent most of the time in the meeting legs astride on a chair looking down & fiddling with his mobile phone. - what a professional!
