That’s how I personally took his statement. How do we go forward with these restrictions in place, not so much how do we find loopholes.

The few minutes I watched sounded perfectly reasonable, as you would expect.

In any event Doug is not stupid enough to go on record talking about how to manipulate government support for the profit and enrichment of execs and shareholders... nobody is that stupid.

I know that these forums attract many conspiracy theorists but come on man ... this is getting ridiculous!
Its not like Parker would ever do or say anything stupid .

I would never think a CEO would get 3 DUI’s either . Like R7777 said , nobody is that stupid .

traditional methods of “returning value” to shareholders has been suspended, they do need to find maybe new ways of doing so.
The executive compensation part plausibly isn’t part of returning value to shareholders.

Transcribed off YouTube. Note my post here was just posting what Doug himself said. I suppose anybody can claim to know "what he really meant". I simply posted his own words.


13:26
we are indeed retiring aircrafts more
13:29
than when we were would have retired
13:31
them otherwise that allows for a better
13:33
product much more efficiency with you
13:35
within our system it allows us to come
13:37
back gradually instead of instead of
13:40
bringing everything back at the same
13:41
time so there there are a number of
13:44
areas and we're moving our attention to
13:47
that point when we come back that we
13:49
want to come back even stronger and a
13:51
better companion even stronger
13:52
competitive position than we were before
13:54
but we needed to make sure we could
13:55
actually get through this and now I know
13:57
that we can Doug they say that you know
14:01
beggars can't be choosers
14:03
but restrictions on buybacks dividends
14:06
executive comp the government warrants
14:09
do you see those as limiting your
14:11
flexibility operationally financially in
14:15
the year to come they're their
14:19
conditions we were happy to accept if if
14:22
you find yourself in need of government
14:24
assistance I think it's fair to say that
14:27
until until you until you've paid off
14:30
the loans for example if you choose to
14:31
take loans that you don't you know have
14:34
stock buybacks you don't do dividends
14:36
that you're that the money doesn't flow
14:39
to your executives so that you have
14:40
restrictions on executive compensation
14:42
we need to figure out ways around those
14:44
but those are absolutely fair things
14:47
that we are asked to do and we're
14:48
certainly not complaining about hey Doug
14:50
it's Phil one last question from us and
14:52
then I know we've got to let you go and
14:55
this has to do with the fact that you're
14:56
going to be applying for more loans from
14:59
the Treasury Department you're going to
15:00
put in that application later this week

Parker speaks off the cuff. He, and those around him, have always spent a lot time saying "What I (He) meant..."

The same Dougweiser that said in a company-wide Town Hall to employees that they shouldn’t get any profit sharing since they had no financial impact on the profitability of the company? That same guy?

Watched the video just now...seems to me like he’s concerned about making sure he gets his.

When you're the CEO, DUIs don't matter. We know that now.
