Well, since Delta is actually mentioned in an AA topic.....WT should be beside himself with a response.robbedagain said:Just waitin for wt to say that its impossible for aa to clean dl clock! lol
For my money, Parker's comeptition isn't Anderson, it's Hauenstein & Jacobson.......[Delta CEO]Richard Anderson is a very smart capable guy. So he’s a tough opponent. If you want to be the best airline you’ve got to beat the tough opponents."
Money is good, but not always enough. Like I said; if he pulls it off, it'll be something to see. And if not? Well...As for the labor peace, there is not much that will really make a difference except to throw money at the employees... which Parker cannot afford to do. AA and US people will tire of the platitudes - even if they do come - in short order and expect to see pay raises, not promises 6 years down the future.
Don't forget all these guys belong to a very exclusive club.......When each one passes the torch to their successor, their status in that club increases.NewHampshire Black Bears said:The best thing that could happen to Parker, is to be put into a LOCKED room for 24 hours with just (uncle) BOBBY,....then wait to see what emerges.

From the article:
"Crandall: The chief executive of every airline needs to be out on the ramp, needs to be out in the terminal, needs to be leading the charge. He needs to pay very detailed attention so everybody knows that doing anything other than No. 1 is not acceptable."
Is Parker known for this? I don't remember him being out on the ramp, etc.

bingo... taking the locks of the C suite at Centerport is one thing but actually rubbing shoulders with the real workers is not a risk you want to take when this forum would no longer exist without labor unrest at AA and US.The most likely reason that you don't see Parker or Kirby out and about is labor unrest. If they finally decided to take equal care of all workgroups, they wouldn't have to worry about getting ripped apart during station visits. Ever notice that they only show certain select town halls, with most being only crews or HDQ folks? What do you think the ones in PHL or CLT may look like with a bunch of rampers and mechanic's speaking their piece? BTW, meetings with Doug and crew are far and few between in either of those cities.
