2020 Pilot Thread

[dariencc]

Parker and his core “team” of career grifters will be angling for the government bailout to be structured with the necessary loopholes for them to come out smelling like roses.

Meanwhile, he will happily back preconditions that reduce labor costs while assuring his deadweight GSW paper pushers and Crew News yahoos that the drastic cuts were simply unavoidable.

 

[Claxon]

Inexplicably, Parker and crew are baffled as to how to reduce headcount hangover from the merger. Many years later. Puzzled analysts wonder how he can continue to chug along with 20,000 more employees than Delta.
Meanwhile at GSW, the occasional slam of the foos ball hitting home rattles the nerves of the worried paid interns. It's not fashionable to spend hours sitting in the beanbag chairs. Now, it's actually not a good idea.
Doug has been spending more time away from the operation lately. And the wife is not happy at all about the abrupt decline of her net worth.

IIRC (which is doubtful--I'll be 75 later this month. lol) there was a "no layoffs" agreement with the pilots and flight attendants to get their approval of the merger. What I don't remember is whether or not there was a time constraint on the agreement that would expire at some time in the future.

Munn can’t control himself. To him, this is the most exciting thing that has happened since Mike Schwab was canned.

The Munnster is back on c&r with another too long post, praising our crack executive team for their stewardship. Chip says that AA is in the best position of any of the majors and will “come out of this” in a more dominant position than before.

Chip tends to believe whatever is the last thing he read on Seeking Alpha by some grad student with zits. So don’t go loading up on AAL stock just yet.

Munn drives the herd very effectively. Just like he drove his DC9 into the mud.
He's got to be popping his hair plugs this time.
The Legacy AA people are annoyed with him, and rightfully so. He buzzes around with strange theories on a perpetual basis. Unfortunately, he's never vocal when Parker embarks on kamikaze style cash binges on stock. Even after he saw his strange former idol Stephen Wolf binge on new Airbus orders and stock purchases at defunct Airways at 64 a share. Not a peep when Wolf cancelled 757 orders and paid huge penalties.

USAir has told Boeing that it does not plan to accept delivery of eight Rolls-Royce RB211-powered Boeing 757-200s, and says that it is also discussing the "status" of its order for 40 Boeing 737-300s. A filing was made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission after the failure to make a $3 million progress payment, due on 1 November for the eight 757s, scheduled for delivery in 1999.

As the passengers waited to board buses after his DC-9 taxiing excursion into the dirt, Chip was quite pleased when he overheard one telling his friends that he recognized the Captain as the handsome star of the Newhardt Clinic hair replacement infomercials. They were all quite impressed.

A MUST READ!!


Some are saying there should be Claw Backs of stock taken by Parker as compensation. Personally I feel it might have merit seeing the buy backs using corporate free cash. It was a reckless policy. Why should employees and taxpayers( being one and the same) pay up for another debacle?
At the least, Parker should be forced out. And, repay some of his compensated stock.
