The even greater irony or maybe it's hypocrisy is the willingness to accept Mr Parker at face value for his public statements even when his own house is divided, while deriding Mr Horton and his new team who's only been in the top job less then 6 months.
So compare the positions stated with the tenure. Tell us publicly why Mr Parker didn't offer his own team DAL rates 7 years ago? He's certainly been content to take the windfall resulting from the lack of combined contracts at US. Just what are the current pay rate differences between the West and East guys? But many of you see him as the future savior of AA.....I'm not buying the hype. |

Oh wait, haven't you just described Mr Parker's position. He states publicly that he sees another 1.5-2.0 Billion in cost-savings and revenue increase all the while guaranteeing no furloughs, DAL-Plus payrates, putting a pony in every stable, etc.
Not many here taking him to task for his statement other than myself and a couple of other folks.....Hmmmmm! |

Brundage insinuates he's still apparently behind the scenes as puppet-master and Lorenzo's $1000/hour former attorney is front and center, embraced warmingly by Mr. Horton. What more do you think most of us need to see or hear ?

Pay rates and combined pilots aside, the question should be which positions have generated profits and effectively run a competing company within their tenure ? :eek: Not a pretty place to look I know, but we're talking about the future. Combine that reality with our slow, but steady death via the 1113 and I think then you can see why it's presently a no-brainer for the overwhelming majority of AA pilots. |

Just an outside commentator, I don't know anything about what Mr. Parker has said. I was just making a comment about a statement with no plan behind it. I would be happy to do the same with Mr. parkers comments as well.

But If your asking me if I would rather go with parkers hype or hortons hype, I would go with parker. Both have no plan but at least the pay/benefit cut wouldn't be as bad with parker( as they are promoting.)

Why stop at a billion? Wouldn't a press release, "AMR wants to increase revenue by two Billion" be a better bigger positive headline for management? How about, "AMR wants to increase revenue by 1 billion and give a pony to every passenger and employee." Now that would be a good press release.
"AMR wants to increase revenue by 1 billion, switch all energy use to clean alternative power, end world hunger, create world peace and get every man woman and child a pony." That is what I would "want" to do as CEO of AMR, vote for me. -Europe in the toilet... -South America? They already own that, so I doubt if they can get enough of an increase to make up for Europe.. -Zero presence in Africa.. (come on in boys... the water's fine. oh, and UAL is pulling out of some of those markets...).. -Asia? I think their relationship with JAL would put the clamps on that.. -Antarctica? |

Actually, that would be good thing if we get folks back to being professionals that support the company cutting their paycheck. |
