Kai Ryssdal has the perfect radio voice. If he did not do the Marketplace radio show he would be excellent at recorded books. Now he has produced about a half hour PodCast with Delta’s CEO Ed Bastian and it is worth a listen:
A few points that piqued my attention in the interview if you do not listen to it:
- Sometimes flies Delta coach unlike Richard who only flew coach (domestically).
- Referred to the Delta 8AUG meltdown as a Delta problem and expands on the issue
- Is really focused on performance over everything else and it shows.
Anyway, try to find the time to listen to this as I think you will find it interesting and a good insight into the top dog at Delta Air Lines! – René
Listened last night on SEA to PDX. I wondered the same thing the interviewer asked about “boring” safety videos.
@Justin – Yep found that interesting too. As long as Ed never says he has my back I will be happy! 😉
Really “focused on performance over everything else” you say? Delta’s on-time performance, Delta’s financial performance, or, and this one is most important to me, Delta’s passengers’ business and life performance due to enhanced experiences aboard Delta fights.
This is actually a program from American Public Media, not NPR. Can that be changed please?
Thank you!
