[Interesting Times]

The CEO of TWA resigned two months after the crash, not one week.

The airline experienced its worst tragedy in July 1996, when Flight 800 exploded over the waters off Long Island, N.Y., killing all 230 on board.

That led to the resignation of Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Erickson in October 1996, following the announcement of a $14.3 million quarterly loss related to the crash.

I think Erickson was in that job for a couple of years, and that he resigned several months after TWA800 blew up. But I think it is also correct that his resignation came shortly after some visits to Washington about which nothing was said. He is now interim CEO of Air Afrique, the story of which is a capsule summary for why the Third World is such a hell-hole. He is reported to live in Scottsdale, AZ, and I would guess he telecommutes as much as possible. If I were closer, I would be curious enough to look him up and ask him about it.
