Who Will Be Delta's Next CEO?

The airline reshuffled its top executive ranks last week.

Dear readers,

Sometimes I wonder if Ed Bastian, who really seems to enjoy hobnobbing with Tom Brady, along with the other perks of being a Fortune 100 CEO, wants to keep his job for life. But with Bastian turning 69 in June, insiders were questioning why Delta hasn’t communicated a plan for what (or who) comes next.

Last week, just a few days after Glen Hauenstein retired, Delta came closer to outlining its future when it announced several job changes for top executives. Don’t worry, though: Delta, an old-fashioned company in many ways, remains controlled mostly by white men in their 50s and 60s.
