I am amused by knowing you think you are more informed and intelligent than the collective wisdom of that poll, as well as by the hope and trust you place in Doug Parker. I have nothing against "the flow" and hope it works out for you.

The guy who created his APC account in 2011 but has all of 11 posts mentioned "stability". Anyone looking for "stability" is wise not to go looking for it in an airline that has gone bankrupt multiple times. Thinking "this time it will be different" is nothing more or less than a gamble (much like trusting in the promise of AA mgmt).

If stability is high on your list of priorities, you cannot beat nor find a better airline than one that has been in business for over 4 decades, has never gone bankrupt, nor furloughed a single pilot in spite of all the turmoil this industry has gone through. There are only two of them. Southwest and Skywest. And I don't work for either so I have no personal interest in promoting them, unlike the Envoy (formerly American Eagle) guys breathlessly promoting their airline because they desperately need new hires in order for their promised flow to work.
