All this talk of potential mergers and who could or would provide lift and feed etc. is extremely amusing. Its almost as if some people on here actually believe that Tilton and Parker actually care about running an airline. Ha!
The only thing these guys want to do is work some Wall street magic, collect their "hard earned" millions, and get the Hell out of town. I think they could give two craps about the labor train wreck this potential merger might cause or even long term damage to the stockholders.
Maybe Doug Parker should try running an airline for a change, but where is the glory in that? Every MBA wannabe worth his salt knows true Wall Street adulation awaits only the master of the universe who can put together the "golden deal" to make the big bucks, not the hardworking visionary who actually creates something of value for employees, passengers and stockholders.
