Jeppesen can hardly be characterized as “diverting funds and attention away from the main corporate direction.” It is a low-risk, well-established and profitable operation that brings in steady revenue and doesn’t need a lot of administrative attention. While simplification = better is a valid paradigm, spinning it off to give the appearance of simplifying administration—when it wasn’t complicating operations at all—would be blindly following the recipe in a cookbook for the sake of keeping overseers happy.
