The Crandall Interview on Fox

Crandall was schooled well in the diplomatic shadows cast by Al Casey, and the lessons he learned at TWA finance only strengthened his position greatly at AMR. AMR owes everything to this man.

Icahn knew that Bob was a masterful dealer, when he gave TWA's ( Crown jewels ) LHR routes to AMR for a pittance, $400 M.

Bob processes that winning combination, and having met him, I can say, that if he had stayed at TWA, this message board would certainly read TWA.
 
Over the years I've heard other members state that Mr. Crandall was a "man who had no equal" in the Industry.

I can "see" why.
