Delta's New CEO Daniel Carp

[HoursHore]

How do these guys keep getting recycled?

Eastman Kodak (nyse: EK - news - people ) shares lost more than half their value during Daniel Carp's tenure as CEO, during which the film company was criticized widely for being too slow to push into digital-imaging products. Carp, who became Kodak's chief exec in January 2000 and the company's chairman in December 2000, received an estimated $6.2 million in total compensation last year. He was succeeded by Hewlett-Packard (nyse: HPQ - news - people ) veteran Antonio Perez as chief executive in May 2005 and as chairman on Dec. 31, 2005. All told, Kodak paid its top executives an estimated $24.4 million last year. The company didn't return calls for comment.

He's not the new CEO. He's the new Chairman of the Board of Directors. Big difference there. The CEO is still JG until the board chooses his successor.

Richard Anderson, he played MacGyver....

Wow, had no idea he has this type of biz acumen.

There's no problem a Delta he won't be able to fix with some string, a paper clip, and some chewing gum.

ps: There's another actor named Richard Anderson that played the boss of the Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. I'll let you guys insert the smart a$$ comments on that one.:laugh:

MacGyver was Richard DEAN Anderson, this guy is Ruchard H. Anderson. Imposter!!

Crap. We need a guy who can turn old RJs into 777s with a can opener and a roll of duct tape.

Chuck Norris

but he turns the RJ's into PBR cans and crushes them on his bicep before they become 777's.

What you need is to recycle the ATR's. The plastic makes great 787's from what I hear.

He will be the non-executive Chairman. He will oversee the actual management team and he will help to determine compensation, etc. However, he will have no day-to-day management responsibility.

"Hi, I am Daniel Carp, I have no responsibilities here whatsoever."

What a team!!

Good luck DAL, You are going to need it.
