We got rid of the wrong guy again….can we never get it right. Bob was the light of this city’s dream of a great airport. Bob’s accomplishments make a long list starting with runways , tech stuff to take care of any airplane now flying to land safely in any kind of weather…to say nothing about the hundreds of flights coming and leaving Rockford….and don’t forget the Guy was responsible for paying off bond debt relieving we citizens of millions of dollars of long term debt
I say recall Puri and Rubin and get some folks that know what their doing!

Who are these people trying to fool? I have been in Rockford since 1985. Never have we seen such enthusiasm about our airport than in Bob O’Brien’s tenure! Bob O’Brien is the Chicago Rockford International Airport. It has been his vision and outreach to our community that birthed our airport! Bob O’Brien is Salt of the Earth with his creative fundraising and intuitive collobration with this community! BAD MOVE!!!!!

Bob O’brien will be sorely missed. His business instinct and passion for promoting the Rockford Airport has been instrumental in the growth of the Airport over that last 8 years. I think Mr. Puri needs to pack up his ego and take somewhere he’ll do less damage. He is obviously out classed.
