Saw parts of this post elsewhere. Though the operations staff is unionized, there is a possibility of a union perspective, wanting to oust the current CEO, or at least want to make a case for mgmt change or a union bargaining position at the next contract renewal.

My only comment is that my undergraduate is in operations, and i worked in operations for 8 years prior to going "corporate". Over 30 years in corporate, its obvious who has a worked the front lines and understands operations and who has accounting skills, and just looks at numbers. ..

At my current employer, they have hundreds of corporate conceptual theory goals PowerPoints, and zero actual execution improvements, and so our comprehensive reporting systems are literally non existent, meaning 10 years old, very similar to the SWA comprehensive scheduling system. . .

I feel the operations pain, and the corporate grift is very high these days. . .
