Just in case some of you missed it, Horton got his big payday yesterday. Equal to over 17 million at todays trading price, not bad considering my 14 years got me 128 total shares worth $3500 bucks

Wow, you totally should have negotiated a better compensation package....like he did.

TQ Nola

Right! And he should avoid smugly fatuous analogies, too!

Considering how much most AA people hated Horton's guts, I should think the severance issue is fairly obvious. It was all but stated in these words ....

The money isn't to pat Tom on the back for his work at AA ... it is to MAKE HIM GO AWAY! For most AA that I've talked to, that's a bargain at any price

Yeah, Parkers is no better than him... college buddies, same ****.

No, I don't think they are anything alike.

Horton could have worked against the deal when the DOJ sued to block. If he had squelched the merger he could have made A LOT more. He didn't though and helped the merger proceed. Time to move on. In the end, a small price to pay in my opinion.

I don't have a huge beef with Horton. He was better than everybody who came after Crandall. What a disastrous string of bad CEO's we've had...

I do think $17 mil is a bit nuts. A more appropriate package would be valued at $4 million or so.

Horton led one of the most successful restructurings in corporate history.

Mink

Yup. He's a hero.

...thus another example of how pilots are indeed their own worse enemy. Applaud the white collar criminals that have managed to keep the airline pilot profession in the death spiral. Pilots who consider themselves as "quasi management" are like being "quasi pregnant." You either are or you are not and in our case we are not. We are labor and management has only one objective when it comes to labor: $$$$. Todays airline pilots purchasing power is less than 50 percent of pre deregulation pilots while management has seen their purchasing power increase 5 fold or more. Yep, heap praise on To Ho while you sit there trying to figure out how to pay your kids next tuition bill, that's really smart.
