This would have looked more like a company really interested in change of direction:
Hazy to STREET
Devoe to STREET
Pappas to STREET
Tedeschi to take up the duties of the three above.

Sorry to say, Devoe should have been sent to MIA 5 years ago. She's had years of being beaten down in DFW to where most likely she is 100% company now. I don't see any improvements coming out of this switch-around. Hazy took the biggest butt kick - and well deserved it is with the small exception of yes, I agree with TWU-I, he should have been kicked to the street! I know nothing of Pappas or Tedeschi but you don't start moving your people around if things are going well where they are at. Obviously, things aren't going well at their existing hubs so they are moving them.
Can this be seen as a mass punishment of some kind, or is it just AMR doing it's usual "we are clueless" routine?

Is this the same Devoe that was one of the JFK F/A base mrg's in the early 90's. Marylin??

Yes. I worked for Marilyn and hope she can clean things up.
Pappas is from DFW so I hope he learned some things from LAX and ORD.
I remember she was well liked when I was based at JFK.

They'll never get rid of him. He must have the goods on someone to be kept hanging around like so much dead weight all these years.

To his credit, Tom can be pretty focused on holding people accountable for their performance, which is part of why he's not the most popular guy on the block. He's fired (directly and indirectly) a lot of people for not being able to control what goes on in their station. He's also done quite well at coming up with the means to protect his organization, something other VP's perhaps aren't as adept at. We had two or three programmers harvesting performance data for his organization out of Sabre, FOS, and various finance systems before Ralph retired, and I'm sure that's grown a bit now that he has the hubs (eCities was a great tool for defending headcount requests...)
That said, I've also heard him called "Don Del Valle" -- those who kiss his ring enough wind up made men, and those who don't often wind up getting whacked... I know a few people who got sideways with him for one reason or another, and within a few years, rightly or wrongly they found themselves out on the street when it came time for cutbacks.

Great, Pappas to DFW.
Sophia Phillis will end up running JFK soon at this rate. :facepalm:

In my experience:
Franco Tedeschi, John Rabozzi, Russ Newill and Ross Bonnano: in that order.
All of the above were straight shooters.
They meant what they said and you never needed to wonder about where they would fall on any given issue; more importantly, they shouldered the responsibility for what they agreed to and never backtracked on an agreement.
I'm glad to have worked with them.
