Frederick W. Reid, Delta's president and chief operating officer, was hired to get the new carrier off the ground by the first quarter of 2005, Virgin USA announced in New York. The company is a subsidiary of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group, which also operates Virgin Atlantic Airways. The announcement gave no details of where the new carrier would be based or what routes it intended to serve. Reid is a former president and chief operating officer of Lufthansa German Airlines, and has also held management positions with Pan Am World Airways and American Airlines. ``Fred will best position the airline to succeed in a competitive but poorly served market,'' said Frances Farrow, chief executive officer of Virgin USA, Virgin Group's business development arm. ``His extensive industry experience and passion to better serve the customer are a strong complement to Virgin's fresh approach to the airline industry.'' Delta said Reid's retirement was effective April 1. ``Fred Reid has been an asset to Delta during his more than six years with us and we all wish him well in his future endeavors,'' said Delta CEO Gerald Grinstein. ``Looking ahead, Delta has great talent and a deep bench, which we will use to fill in behind Fred.'' http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/business/AP-Virgin-USA.html?ex=1080118535&ei=1&en=01d3fcd64c576864 --------------------------------- Get Home Delivery of The New York Times Newspaper.
