I'm of the opinion that history has not been harsh enough on C. Edward Acker in what he did in the airline industry. It's been easy enough to paint Frank Lorenzo and Carl Icahn in a villanous brush, but so far what I have found on Acker is less than exemplary and I think he had a very large hand in the demise of Pan Am, just as much as he had a large hand in the demise of Air Florida. <br /><br />He left under the cloud of a federal investigation at Braniff, sank Air Florida, sank Pan Am, and I wouldn't be one bit surprised if his hand was involved in Atlantic Coast Airlines' demise as Independence Air as he had a significant role in the formation of ACA.JP Santiagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743418658732808826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3685907526691141099.post-18040192451477779052010-04-01T12:37:23.149-05:002010-04-01T12:37:23.149-05:00As a former Pan Am flight attendant, I appreciate ...As a former Pan Am flight attendant, I appreciate the scrutiny you are devoting to Mr. Acker.
