I'd certainly have a different view of Doug if his own house was sterling, but alas it isn't. I'll stick with the AA team until they're relieved of duty.
If the board chooses Doug and gives up on Tom, I'll give him and AA every once of loyalty and professionalism I possess. You see, I don't believe in the temporal, but in things that endure!
You're joking right?
Parker was handed AWA on the verge of bankruptcy and possibly liquidation. Look what he's accomplished.
Your guy is part of the team that took the greatest airline on the face of the friggin' earth and put it where it is now, in bankruptcy.
You've got to be one of the management dopes, just wanting to hang on long enough to screw the employees, exit bankruptcy and build your golden parachute.
