Will Delta be returning to bankruptcy? Will merging with Northwest make any difference? Why Delta's Board of Directors wisely passed over Whitehurst and Bastian for the job of CEO to replace Grinstein...and why Whitehurst is highly unlikely to succeed now as CEO of Red Hat. Why Jerry Grinstein was not Delta's savior / fire chief as Delta's PR would have us believe.  An insider's assessment of how Delta went from sustained profitability to bankruptcy in a few short years. Cut through the hype to the facts. The inside story you won't read in the press or the company's PR blitz. Factual, behind-the-scenes information about the company, people, management and strategy from the objective source thousands of others have found this book to be.
