I have said it twice now, I was not referring to PSA’s meltdown, i was not interviewing with PSA (or any AA regional), I was not flying AA and it was not an IROP.

It was one cancelled flight out of a hub city, with 11 other ways to get me home that night.

the director of OCC (Operation Control Center)

needs to go. He's been making a mess of that place for years.
I know that for a fact...Dion needs to relieve him

Why does everyone keep saying the PSA CEO is just a puppet.
He literally signs off on all the PSA spending. If he put out an RFQ for server mx, or server upgrades then selected the lowest bidder then got bit in the rear.
No different then him choosing PNS as a mx base over any other city, and if the building fell in crushing an airplane or person then he's the one that signed the contract for the cheapest bid with no operational knowledge.

I think he should be fired, he's a self proclaimed bean counter who doesn't have operational knowledge of when NOT to select the lowest bidder for any number of things.
He's spent more energy reducing the 700 transfers to 1 a month than he has at getting this place staffed.
AA literally has signed deals with other 700 operators because he's so good at describing why he can't it done. Endeavor took 4 planes a month form ExpressJet and we struggle with 1.
His 2016 hiring numbers alone should have been enough to get him canned.

PSA announced the 900s in December 2013, and they've known the whole time they planned on going to 150 airplanes and can't get it done 5 years later.
He's so crafty just saying we'll fly what we can staff when what he really means I don't know what I'am doing I hope I can get place to 150 airplanes without a fatality.

It's so disheartening hearing the rightfully angry customers say how awful it is and how they'll never fly AA again, I like my job and make my mortgage payments with it and have to suffer with such inexperience at the helm. The oldest trick in the book is to fire the people who work for you, so you don't get fired, that's already happened.

Just examples
-Delta RJs have coded departure routes, so when they get a clearance reroute it's on the release if they have enough fuel.
-United has coded delays built in their ACARS so they don't have to free type every delay, and a chief doesn't have to sift through them.
Delta ACARS tells them if the gate is open or occupied saving a call and delay every flight.
-United has ACARS page for FDP max times for CA and FO, don't have to stop and wait 20 mins to call a 117 deal to get a wheels up time.

They run this place like it's 40 turboprops and wonder why it's so hard to run.

Every airline has its deficiencies. I could cherry pick things about any of them and make another look better (or worse). Overall, compared to many airlines I’ve seen and experienced, this place does a pretty good job all things considered.

DF is not a CEO, he is the President of an AAG subsidiary and an AAG Officer. Big difference.

Being a President vs. a CEO has very large differences in power in corporate structure.

He literally signs off on all the PSA spending.
Not true. All large expenditures are approved/denied by Dallas. Just like any subsidiary.
