Delta CEO Ed Bastian reportedly told employees he doesn't want to partner with Elon Musk on Starlink, calling out his reputation directly.
Blasting a CEO that has corporate contracts in SEA, RNO, LAX, AUS & that MFE gate squatting route from AUS is BOLD.
It only takes CEOs a matter of minutes/tweets before they go back to sucking up to (insert your personage).
It’s all true? Both the good and the bad? Or just the bad, in which case it’s not all.
Forgive me, but what's the good? I have not heard a single good thing about that man, at least once you get past the "he created so many compnaies!" bs.
And I've heard things about Bastian, like how he's quietly a homophobe and he couldn't stand Hauenstein and forced him into the background. So neither side is Simon Pure.
Starlink is basically chick fil a but for satellite internet
What do you mean by that, it's obnoxiously Christian, forces pickles on you, and doesn't work on Sundays?
Ed has no principles and he teaches his employees to be the same way, better to spread his evil. He also has no sense of smell, because his nose is jammed up Guillaume Faury's sphincter.
>I certainly have my opinions about Musk… I’ll leave it at that.
No, we'd actually like to hear. What about him do you specifically take issue with? A statement, a quote, a position he takes you don't agree with?
Or is it more of a 'I have to say this because the people we flew to Japan with' type deal?
I think it's the latter. You just want to be popular. That's okay.
Ugh, yet another example of the sad era of ‘Celebrity CEO’ that we apparently live in. Ed, Elon, Scott, can ya just run your companies, operate reliably, and maybe try to make life better for customers, workers and shareholders, alike? Nope. Gotta sling catty comments at each other, while nearly everyone else suffers. Pathetic.
AS, HA, UA, and WN will all have their fleets retrofitted with Starlink by the time DL starts installing Amazon LEO. And AA will have a good chunk of its Airbus planes converted to Starlink by then as well.
"United has 600+ planes with Starlink (~36% of the fleet)"
600 planes is over 52% of their fleet. John doesn't understand basic math but is a NYT bestseller?
Ed, we're waiting for you to announce the return of domestic D1 to SEA.
