Yes, but Parker took the "adapt and go" philosophy where the management would adapt the policies (generally) of the larger group. However, LAA management pilots still generally populate the tiers of flight operations. Now policies that were once used on the DC-6 are now starting to be used on the Airbus. I don't really care, the pay makes up for it and we're not going back to a qfe altimeter setting (as of now, anyway).
