Hey I just want to say to Parker , THANK YOU for this merger ,,,I am of the opinion that in the long run it will save more jobs than it costs .
people have different views and while some don't think a merger was necessary , I for one do ... and I don't care about the missteps in your past , I've made them too .... if it were up to me , i'd take you out to the MINT to say THANK YOU for this awesome merger ....
I for one think that we are lucky to have Parker as a CEO ... I think he's the best CEO currently in the airline industry today ...Don't get me wrong , i'm prepared to fight him tooth and nail for what I think is just for my union , but that doesn't preclude me from respecting him for the job he's done thus far ... KUDOS ....

Like the AA employees used to say about Crandall: "He may be an SOB, but he's OUR SOB!"
Parker may very well be the best airline CEO out there today. But that's not saying much about him, IMHO. It says a lot about the rest of them.

gordon bethune was better he turned co around from worst to first... and if i can recall i dont think he made millions while co was in ch 11 yet when siegel was in charge he took the money and ran as did wolf parker may have helped hp then merge with us but as one other poster on here said at the cost of labor is why the airline is making profits and the fees just add to it if he cant get the labor unions contracts settled then it will show
I don't know that US would have survived the recession without him and his team. There wasn't much money in the bank and things got really lean for a couple quarters. He did some really unpopular things that may very well have been the things that kept the company from going down again. He seems pretty personable and as honest as he can be in the crew news sessions as well. All in all, he may very well be the best airline exec in the country right now.

I agree with you. and for all the people that say he F@#$#$ us (them) look at why he had to do it? ANY CEO wont screw there employees. if it good for the biz its good with me. and if you think about it he didnnot do what he did ( i dont know how peopel go so caled screwed) did he save ur job? i give dug a thank you bc he try as had as he can to make us all to have a job. If your so bitter about him please leave so the rest of us can move up🙂
Did you read the article? It was by Ely Portillio, Reed has not worked @ The CLT O for years.
