"Hard landing"
"Exited the runway"
The chairman should be asked some very tough questions. |
The Board's biggest issue was probably one of believing everything management told them about having plans for events like this.
Having said that, looking at the composition of the Board it is not a very strong group. Wadih Fares is the current chair but I suspect he is too busy to give it much attention. Then you have a bunch of political friends like Rob Batherson, Marie Mullally, Stephen Dempsey, Tom Traves, Jim Cowan, etc... not likely to ask very many tough questions. I would question just how engaged many of these people are as Directors.
There are some very well-paid execs there whose main interest the last few years seemed to be turning it into a retail hub real estate play rather than an airport that could handle issues like this. Apparently the navigational aids are pretty antiquated and they lack a lot of tech found elsewhere. Disaster planning obviously was not a priority either. Heads should roll.
