USAPA going to show APA how its done?  Didn't they say they were going to do that with Parker too?

Doug and Gwen's roots go back to AA where they started their careers. That's where their loyalties will be and it's certainly not USAPA..

"He grew up around the Midwest, the family following his father's rise from meat cutter to executive at Kroger, the grocery chain. Out of college, Mr. Parker joined American Airlines in Fort Worth, doing financial work. There he met Gwen, a flight attendant and daughter of a liberal Methodist minister with a strong belief in unions and social justice.

"I've always been a supporter of unions," Mrs. Parker said. "It caused a lot of conflict in the beginning of our relationship."

She found American Airlines - she worked there until 1996 - particularly tough on workers. "They always gave you the feeling you were so easily replaced," she said. "I helped Doug understand that. You want to be respected for the job you do."

Too much confrontation and an airline can descend into chaos. Too nice a guy in the corner office and unions can walk away with all the money. Striking a balance is inherently risky, but Mr. Parker seems to crave a thrill."

"I've always been a supporter of unions," Mrs. Parker said. "It caused a lot of conflict in the beginning of our relationship."

 
When using the term "loyalties"; it's best to bear in mind the above, if ever so foolish as to imagine Mr. Parker having even the slightest loyalty to either/ANY portions of the workforce. He'll continue to do his best to play all groups against all others. Even imagining any semblance of inherent "loyalties" to the American side's just foolish. They're merely red ink in the accounting department, every bit as much as all other employees.
 
A side thought though. If you're now assuming any undue, but somehow overwhelming concern for the American workers; where does that place those from AWA in the grand scheme of things?

Too funny. Busted!

Still waiting fat boy. Isn't smarter to quiz me directly so I have no chance of looking anything up? See? Now send me your number.

This is all clinically classic material. A key personality component of the compulsively pathological liar is in their being able to construct self delusional fantasies, often so extreme that they're actually able to even believe their own sick nonsense, rather than accept reality on any terms, just sayin' folks...
 
Petulantly crying out for anyone to "SEND ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER NOW!" demonstrates yet another component, that of extreme narcissism.
 
Clearly, AWA wasn't ever much for psychological testing of any kind.

You type too much.

How was your bender. You pass out tis weekend talking to yourself about your glory days flying the Tweet?

 

[EastUS1]

 Isn't smarter to quiz me directly ....?

 
Why would it be? Why should any assume "you'se" to be anyone of such grand importance in the first place? Check-marking the box for extreme narcissism, yet again.

Again with the typing?!?  You nag me more than Jamie's wife!

You don't need his number. Just tell him where you are based. What is the harm in that??

What's your number?

 

[nevergiveup]

What's your number?

First, he wants your number. 

 

[EastUS1]

What's your number?

 
It's safe to say that everyone here's figured out your "number".

I'm going to have to meet jj one day.

 
Everyone should.  And brother, are you in for a treat.  JJ is the most interesting pilot in the world.
 
To begin with, JJ digs Dancing With The Stars.  A lot.  The man is cultured, as they say.
 
But it doesn't stop there.  JJ is an intellectual.  His other "likes" include the John F. Kennedy, Jr. forum.  And no, it is not an aviation safety blog.  It's at Harvard.
 
He also "likes" the Riverside restaurant.  It's a "bohemian family restaurant."  For you rednecks in Charlotte, that means the customers are really cool.
 
Lucky thing for you Charlotte types, JJ is on the way.  Won't be long now.  All the LCC and AWA neato pilot stuff on his facebook home page has been replaced with guess what?
 
American Airlines, Baby!
 
Sorry, cactus people.  JJ has already scraped that America West sticker off the bumper.  He's heading east and into the bigtime.  He can't wait to see the looks he gets on the interstate when drivers get a load of that shiny "New American" bumper sticker.  And the Northern Illinois University alumni mag is already planning a cover story.
 
Only one minor problem I left out. Seems that finances are just a teeny bit of an issue.  His house, through no fault of his own, has seen its price adjusted.  About 200 grand.  In the wrong direction.
 
But tragedy creates opportunity, as they say at Northern Illinois.  I have it on good authority that JJ will allow a lucky forum reader to grab the deal of a lifetime.  In exchange for assuming custody of the mortgage on this lovely "desert view" fixer upper on W Ashurst, JJ will hand you the keys and be out by tonight, if you know what I'm saying.   
 
He is the most interesting pilot in the world.

Previously covered. "You'se" are just an internet "spartan" here, without the slightest spine or required "honor" to ever accept challenges of any kind, and obviously, a wholesale joke in what laughably passes for a "real" life elsewhere. Feel free to keep up the Fantasyland/internet nonsense as "you'se" see fit...umm...and would "you'se" mind once again dazzling us all with your bowling abilities?..Or would even that prove too much an intrusion on what a complete clown you actually are in life? 🙂
 
Per your "proud"; have you so soon forgotten that I'd not willingly choose "you'se" to even be any pathetic object that I'd so much as choose to wipe dog crap off my shoe soles on?
 
"You'se" are merely, at best, the equal of a squallng five year old, desperate for attention, that imagines crying loudly will always get some.

Yep.  Drunk as a skunk.
