Truth is Kummant hasn't said much at all, which is probably a good sign. I'm rooting for him.<br /><br />We've had three major actions that I can think of so far by Kummant, being an abort for the drive to take the freight railroads to court for on-time problems (bad unless he's got a better plan), an abort for the effort to outsource call centers (good) and the firing of some top executives (probably good, assuming we get quality replacements, which we don't know yet mostly).<br /><br />One thing he suggests in his talking about taking action is new and that is obtaining new equipment via private funding, and that's good.Christopher Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16947034888487890485noreply@blogger.com
