Parker claimed one of his primary goals was to return AA back to its prominent position in part due to a positive employee/management relationship and this is his chance to demonstrate that or show his card that it was all bunk. I think it more likely then not, AA will ultimately return to its horrid pilot/management relationship and Parker and Kirby will just shrug their shoulders on the way to the bank. I hope I'm wrong, but the vibe isn't good based on what I've heard.
