The Man The Myth The Legend John Selden
How did Hartsfield Jackson Airport get in its current state of mayhem and disarray? John Selden left and took a job out of the country that's why. John Selden ran the airport like a business, not a mom-and-pop hip hop shop. He is a decorated navy officer and commercial pilot who had experience in finance, rail access, customer service and maintenance security. Based on his engaging presence and impressive accolades he was selected by a search committee led by top executives from UPS and Home Depot over Balram Bhoedori. John took reigns during tumultuous times when the Georgia Senate was studying a possible takeover. Perhaps the airport would be better if it was run by the state. Can you guess who was the interim general manager prior to John accepting the role? Balram Bheodori was in charge and there were various issues and ongoing federal and FAA investigations under his leadership. He allowed the staff to use the airport's money as if it was their own personal checkbook.
