Many of us were critical of Parker's failure to live up to his promise of changing the AA culture for the better. It's still just the old AA and yes with "lipstick" in the form of new paint and soon new uniforms. The airline quality rankings just came out and AA was nowhere to be found near the top. Clearly, we are not headed to become a "premium" carrier able to compete with those who are and appear destined to just be a Walmart/Greyhound operation. I guess that's good enough and apparently Parker believes that will churn the profits and shareholder value.

Personally, I don't think so, at least not in the long-term, so NO, RJ pilots position is not "not according to Joey". That's just his weekly attempt to out me as that's all he's got left and yes, he's flunked at that too.
