In answer to your primary question Kahron, I don't know either, but I do recall he was an excellent statesman and had very good relationships with industry. A quiet achiever, if you will, exhibiting genuine 'followership' rather than demanding conformance from inferred leadership.

On the concept of a quiet achiever, I'm not 100% convinced that a 'name' is the answer. I hear what you're saying about international 'comfort', but a name is just a 'brand' and a brand needs to be of robust depth and quality beneath its facade to last the vagaries of the market (the industry in this case).

Sadly, many of the 'names' in aviation have got there by simply having 'more front than Myers', but when tested they come up wanting.
