While it is true that whoever is top dog today won't be tomorrow, anything that involves usair will be a disaster. For the last 25-30 years everything they've touched they've screwed up. They have put up some impressive numbers for Wall Street of late, but that was with pay and benefits of a start up. Let's see how the integration goes and how they do going forward paying close to industry rates to their work groups. I don't think Parker is up for the job. He's been use to having below avg rates for years at America west and way below rates at usair. Anyone can make a profit with labor costs 30-40% below their competitors.
