Today the news media had a number of stories on Ashby’s departure and listed below are a few notable comments:

His departure was not expected to disrupt US Airways' operations or the merger, airline experts said. "US Airways has plenty of capable people to step in," said Darryl C. Jenkins, visiting assistant professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. "America West is doing most of the heavy lifting here."

"Bruce Ashby has been personally responsible for many of US Airways’ accomplishments. He is a brilliant individual and has played a pivotal role in our reorganization, and the financial backers of IndiGo clearly recognize his many talents," said Bruce Lakefield, US Airways president and chief executive officer. "We wish him the absolute best in his new endeavor."

"It's more than probable that the bulk of US Airways' management structure will be wrung out, and probably in nine to 18 months," said William Lauer, analyst and chairman of Allegheny Capital Management, Tarentum. "It reflects the reality that America West will be operating the consolidated airline." "He's about the same age as (America West CEO) Doug Parker and probably looked at the merger and thought, 'Where am I going?" said Lauer.

"(Ashby) played a key role in the due diligence on the merger, and it would have been nice to have had his talent in the new company," said America West spokesman Phil Gee. "But (IndiGo) sounded like a great opportunity for him."

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bruce was this, Bruce was that. Blah, blah, blah.

Bruce was a member of and in good standing with the hacks in CCY.
Bruce is a hack that made millions off US and it's labor force.

Bruce, don't go away mad, just get the hell out.

Ya lousy bum.

I take great exception to that misrepresentation and inaccurate sully upon my unsoiled nom de plume. I am not now, nor have I ever been a part of US other than as a paying passenger. Lark is now and has always been female.

PitBull:

I agree with you regarding Ashby’s marketing, planning, finance, and corporate development expertise. Ashby left US Airways because he wants to run an airline and there are no opportunities in the U.S., especially at the new US Airways with Doug Parker in place.

US Airways will emerge from bankruptcy in a couple of months and Scott Kirby, America West’s executive vice president of sales and marketing and the merger integration team leader, will begin to take over these duties at the combined company. In addition, Andrew Norcella US Airways senior vice president of planning, who came to US Airways from America West, is also a talented individual and he will have an expanded role.

Ashby’s departure is similar in scope to Ben Baldanza. Both men want to run an airline and there was no opportunity for that to occur at the new US Airways.

You have got to be kidding me. With all that talent the best he could do is a job in India. If he was so great why wasnt he employed anywhere else? Indians move here to get out of there own country. Resign my butt. Whenever management people " resign" they were fired. He was caught and ran to his buddy in India. 6000 thousand Indians die a year from snake bites. Be carefull Bruce.

I believe Bruce Ashby will not be the last US Airways executive, officer, manager, or other MSP employees to leave the company. Within the next week or so the merged company will announce the new management team and those left out will likely seek other employment.

The halls of Crystal City will likely be thinned out as people look for and obtain other work to pay their bills, since they have not yet received a retention and severance award.
