I am going to miss Ed. At least with him, it was so obvious he was incapable of performing well under any circumstance. His blunders, confrontational management style, poor decision-making skills and hilarious use of the english language were a constant reminder of the quality of our entire management team.
When it comes to the other 3, you actually have to understand that they are deceptive and self-serving, in order to understand the harm they cause. It was obvious from Day 1 with Ed, that he was lacking in the most basic qualities considered desirable from someone in a position of authority.
It won't matter who replaces Ed at this stage. The only difference will be that the new guy will come in and 'appear' to have our best interests in mind, only to disappoint us in the long run.
Ed was surely the one and only thing that all pilots (except Capt America) agreed upon and I suspect his colleagues in the Golden Palace recognized that he was a unifying force for the pilots against them. Therefore, he had to go.
He will be remembered as an incompetent, ignorant, sycophant manager, who made us laugh every time we read his emails or heard him attempt to talk and make sense, at the same time.
