As US Airways Plans a Sixth Merger, Ed Colodny Recalls the First Four
http://www.thestreet...first-four.html
The fourth and best-remembered USAir merger came in 1987 with Piedmont Airlines. Today, it is often cited as an example of an extreme case of corporate culture clash. As Jerry Orr, director of Charlotte Douglas International Airport, once said: "When you buy somebody, you ought to save the good parts and throw away the bad parts, but USAir did the opposite." Orr added: "They thought the sun rose and set in Pittsburgh."
I'm not a Jerry Orr fan, but in this case truer words were never spoken. The number one example is Crystal City letting Gordon Bethune get away while putting Deer-in-the-Headlights Schofield run the show. Geez, at the time Schofield didn't even have a bachelor's degree, and his claim to fame was that he started as a bag buster in PIT.
What is this fixation about a college degree?
What is this fixation about a college degree? Some of the brightest people I have met and worked with were those not turned out by the college assembly lines. They had keen minds and great problem solving skills. A college education today is for the most part a joke.
Years ago those who attended college had to have high grades and even then some did not make it. Today almost any brain dead young one can attend and come out no smarter.
Its sad to see job classified ads stating applicants must have a college degree, never specifying that the degree be in the line of work sought. How about a degree in 15th century history or tv and media, good for today's job market. Don't discount a person because of a lack of a degree, check his life work record,his being self taught and able to cull knowledge from others by his being easy to work with. The college of hard knocks still turns out some of the most capable people today.
As far as Bob Crandell, his tenure was at a different time in history, record high oil prices,real threats of terrorism,global economies in the tank were not around at his time.CEO's are all the same,protect the shareholders and enjoy the ego trip of being an airline CEO. Parker is salivating at the thought of running AA and he will promise anything to gain that position.
I wish the best for all employees, both AA and US. As far as AA being too small to compete, Airways brass has said that if the merger does not go through, airways will be fine. With that line of thinking, AA being much,much larger should likewise be fine without a merger.
Hmmm. A bit defensive, are we?
Let me guess about your college degree.
In the first year that Schofield became president, the annual Forbes 500 list came out with 499 bosses having at least a bachelor degree. One did not.
Now, if your college of hard knocks theory were correct, then Schofield should have done a stellar job. Were you paying attention?
