Hog wash. Its Jerry Glass/Parker/Kirby Bull ****e tactics.
They need seven industry standard concessions... he needs to buy them.. we need to sell them.. We get exactly what we require when we sell the concessions... nothing more...nothing less... WE NAME THE PRICE.. NOT HIM.. WE OWN THEM... WE are SELLING....
If you really want to know why Parker is in a rush, you should read the FCC papers and see what kind of bonus Parker gets (and the real deadline he is up against)...
FCC....he gets to have a morning show on AM?!?!?
You mean SEC and they mean nothing. There is no rush for him to push this. This is a fire that the hot-heads are trying start by burning rocks. I fell for it too, until I used my brain read for myself. All Parker and company have to do is complete SOC by next year and have his large work groups match other airlines in pay rate. Then shares for them are vested. However there nothing that stipulates that AAL EXECs must meet some fantasy island for leverage point in January but just by the end of 2015....wow pull the lever and watch the slots spin....no cherries.
