Kirby’s good to present on TV because he brings no drama … he’s not a major business figure like Doug parker , there won’t be any questions about DUI’s etc … so in other words he’s not a lighting rod …. And I think so few people actually know who he is , that he’s almost innocuous while on tv …He presents such a mundane view on the situation that I think it actually reassures anyone watching him “ oh that nice man says everything is fine at us airways , so everything must be fine “ ….
I swear he’s like a ninja 😛h34r: , he could be five feet in front of you and you’d never know it …. I wonder how many times I’ve crossed paths with the man over the years working here and never realized it … we should use him as a spy and send him to other airlines meetings , just have him walk in quietly and sit down , they’ll never notice him ….
