Hit the nail right on the head. Anyone who hails from America Worst might want to regress back under the desk. One of the highest fines ever in history for failures in the realm of commercial aircraft maintenance, might have been the cause of the bankruptcy. I think DUI Doug Parker was running the show about then? Must have been on his second DUI.
I had the dis-pleasure of working on some of the AW finest flying junkers back then, to call them Boeing 757s would be an insult to Boeing Inc. These things were so ragged out and filthy I wouldn't have put my mother-in-law on one...yes that bad. The way AA maintenance is being ruined over the last few years, hollowed out, and outsourced to death, AA might as well put a puke colored "AW" logo on the tail.
We are so very fortunate have DUI Doug and the rest of the Tempe Brain Trust running AA into the ground. But hey, DUI Doug won the lottery, he's making millions and spending it like a drunk in Vegas on the management team that couldn't run a 7-11.
What would happen if any of YOU had three DUIs??? Would you be making hundreds of millions and spouting off about "Validate the Trust" to the unwashed masses??? Hardly.... You wouldn't have a job here. Period.
