He most likely will serve on a weekend and he will not be in general population.
Exactly .. yes, he's the CEO, but it's his personal life and really does not affect USAirways all that much. Until now, this was largely forgotten by the media after the first day or two. All of my friends & family outside the airline business either didn't know about the incident, or didn't really care.

Incredible. You bemoan & bich about a half-can of soda and how this policy affects everyone yet a repeat-offender DUI/CEO is to be treated with kid gloves....
....March 15 -- "beware the Ides of March"
(hey, i'm beginning to type like NHBB)
Yup, here's the AZ penalties. Since his other DUI's were so long ago, it's considered a first offense ..

You can also possibly change the CEO of USAir.
This guy has a demonstrated pattern of very poor judgement.

Looks like just a QIK trip to the Big House.

"The CEO's day in jail starts one day after US Airways annual Media Day, during which journalists visit the carrier's headquarters to meet with airline officials."
Should make for some interesting interviews from the press....

Geez, even Monica's blue dress and OJ's glove didn't get this much attention. One guy got blown away and the other got away with murder. Parker is small potatoes in comparison.

How about he promise to stop drinking and driving. Promise to stop risking other peoples lives with his own weakness for booze.
The double standard everyone is talking about, is the fact that he is the head of a company who would fire a pilot flight attendant or mechanic, who if had done the same thing, and had been as widely reported, would have been sacked. The rules should apply equally to all. If any other employee can drink drive risk others lives, be as reported, then plead guilty to the offense and serve time in jail with no repercussions or record to it on file. Then fine case closed about how its a double standard between management and hourly workers.
As for character, please after drinking and driving, he has no character.

Sorry twice, but as long as the press mentions US, CEO and DoUgIe in the same headline, it is about US and has every right to be posted here.
Your CEO is now a jailbird and has a record.....
What whas the second DUI for and why was it dismissed?
"A second DUI charge and a speeding charge were dismissed"

Parker was not due to appear until Wednesday but the date was moved at the request of his Phoenix attorney.

Sounds like to me that he did in fact get special treatment and out of the eyes of the press.....hummm

How is moving a hearing date a day earlier special treatment? His attorney probably had something else going on the original date.
