And they did that.
He always talks about American and its relationship with American Eagle and how it was wrong to have only one regional affiliate and have them such an integral part of mainline.
His stated vision is to have five or six regionals that operate as their own companies (even the WO).
There are ten now.
No matter what you think of Parker what he and Isom say in public has been panning out.
