Yet over the last month the company’s stock is up 100%.

Silence...
Are you really grilling the AA management team for not furloughing enough people?
AA is rolling the dice and jumping back out onto routes quicker than any other airline. Up to 55% YOY by July. That’s not silence, it’s action.
Believe me, I’m in no way a Doug Parker cheerleader, but he’s doing the best he can right now to save jobs and put AA in a good place, and I do think he’s doing those things well.
