Topic Wiki

Ok so I've been warned by Commissar XYZ (who shall remain nameless, and who's team has reviewed my post for any anti establishment material) of the USSDDF (Union of Soviet Socialist Dan Deals Forums) to cease and desist in engaging in this controversial topic which is "disturbing the peace" and not leading to any goodwill (which is true). So now, on my way to the gulag for reeducation, I bid farewell to all the great masters of DDF, and salute them with my right hand held high, in the obligatory fashion, and announce-

HEIL DAN!!! LONG LIVE DDF!!! Down with the dissenters!

Farewell.
...And good riddance!
;D

Wow. This is great news!!! Hopefully the company can find someone to bring it back on track like in the Continental style. They need someone to do what Jim Whitehurst did at Delta, but from a customer service perspective.

The company also announced that its executive vice president of communications and government affairs and its senior vice president of corporate and government affairs have stepped down. The departures announced today are in connection with the company's previously disclosed internal investigation related to the federal investigation associated with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Seems related to that corruption investigation involving the Port Authority and the EWR-CAE flight?
