Labor at American will be a nightmare that can NEVER be fixed until Parker is fired.
Actual Doug Parker quote as American CEO: “It’s just not the right way to pay 100,000 employees that don’t have that much impact on the daily profits.”
Just like politically they say "there would be no Reagan if it weren't for Carter" its equally true to say "there would be no C2K (a.k.a. "United plus") if it weren't for UAL". There would have been no United to plus off of were it not for the shortsighted laggership style of Goodwin, Wolf, et al in uniting the pilot group there in an unprecidented way.
There is a lot of value in motivating another team to do better. It makes the whole league stronger.
