As Grinstein passed the baton to Anderson, he said that it was a privilege to serve Delta and its employees. He described Anderson as “a ferocious competitor, who is thoroughly knowledgeable about airline operations, and understands the link between passenger satisfaction and living up to Delta’s service commitments.”

Anderson said that taking the reigns from a CEO like Gerry Grinstein is difficult because he did a phenomenal job of leading Delta through its most difficult time. “Going forward, the best way to honor his legacy is to continue the fight,” said Anderson. “Delta has a solid strategy in place that provides a dynamic platform for future growth and success. Our immediate focus will be on implementing that plan to continue to improve the customer experience and Delta’s operation.”

Two of those most instrumental in assuring that passengers will be able to go where they want to go and do it in style and comfort are Robinson alums. Lee Macenczak, executive vice president of sales and customer service, and Pam Elledge, senior vice president for global sales and distribution, have worked their way up through Delta’s ranks. They understand the airline business and Delta’s future challenges for both customer service and international expansion. They know that the battle is not over but have plans to assure that Delta’s newfound success will continue well into the future.
