Doug parker Flew out yesterday

[barbeetantrums]

It certainly isn't preferrential treatment he is getting. I think the man finally realized his employees are disgruntled and dislike him, forcing him to have bodygaurds for his bags so that bad things wont happen to them or bad things end up IN them.

Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo?

He didn't want to witness Philly losing his luggage. This way he can say "All is Well in Philadelphia, I transfered there and MY bags made it".

Actually he's in Italy shopping for another merger.

How much you wanna bet that flight didn't get a daily before leaving

I'm very surprised a circuit breaker didn't pop just about departure time.

Oh, how silly of me. My guess is that the cockpit crew was probably hand-picked from the spuervisory personnel to preclude any delays. After all, if the suprvisors had to personally load his luggage, it would make sense to have his Kool-aid cronies operating the flight controls, also.

I bet it's nice to go on vacation, get a guaranteed seat on a flight and know your luggage is in the cargo hold.

We should do that for all of our customers. What do you think, DoUgIe?

You have got to be kidding me! This is his 4th DUI for God's sake. I would have learned my lesson after the 1st time. He's the CEO of a major airline (which he and his boys are destroying). People have been fired for less. No I am not giving the guy a break. When you are the CEO of a company you are "on" 24/7. Would you have a job if your mug shot was all over CNN. So much for the "Corporate Code of Conduct" book. I burned mine in the fireplace last week.

Who distroyed your airline the l;adst 5 years? I am sure it was not Parker et al!!

You are right, he had 4 DUI in the last 20 or so years. :down:

Sorry for the typo: it should read "last"

There are at least 13 pilots who have proved they would give them anything. Their names deserve more ire than Dougie.

OH YEAH! Thanks for reminding me. I didn't really have anyone in mind. I'll start that thread in a bit.

 

[Nothin Less Than Victory]

a real leader would have faith in his troops. I'm acutally surprised he didnt fly via private charter. wonder if he exercised the first class amenities.

DUI laws must not be all that bad in AZ. I had a friend on his first DUI, lost his license for 90 days, parole for 18 months.

Are parole and probation the same thing?

 

[legacy-to-LCC]

Are parole and probation the same thing?

probation is essentially a suspended sentence, typically for misdemeanor offenses. if the terms of probation are not fulfilled, the probation is violated and the suspended sentence imposed. probation, unless ran consecutively for multiple charges, typically assumes the sentencing maximums for misdemeanor charges which is 11/29 (one day shy or one year). this varies by state, though.
parole is a suspension of a balance of a sentence, i.e., time has already been served. parole is reserved for felony level criminals.
i hope this helps?

 

[as the prop turns]

When Dougie flew out to Rome the other day, he sat his "pristine" a$$ in the Envoy Club when he should have been walking out and about seeing first hand what his decision has created.

 

[ALCARLOS]

You guys in PHL scared poor Doug to death 😀 😀

Do we know why Doug is in Rome? Are they planning a sale?
or ??

 

[Travelpro72]

I would love to know the honest reason for Doug being in Rome. Does anyone know why he would go to Italy at a time like this?

He flew out with his children(to protect him from the big bad phl people)which is why he was in coach...no children of employees in envoy under 12...I guess he needed a break from all spinning hes been doing either that or he wanted to check out the grappa(italian grain alcohol)
