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.
I think the issue some would have, is that while he is doing the best he can, he is doing it with a huge roll of the dice. It would appear to many that this thing certainly isnt over and won't "burn out" this summer, so by him not taking the actions needed to have long term stability, he is gambling with peoples lives. Given all the events happening recently, I just dont know. Cases of Covid are on the rise again in many states and around the world. All the social unrest. Its just such a crazy time in our world right now.
Now, if it works, it will be a home run and everyone profits. If it fails, AA will get hit harder than the rest by a long shot I would assume be the demise of DP at AA.
