[usair_begins_with_u]

What say the employees and customers


edited to add: Ahaha, funny typo on failure.. oh well you guys get the point.
edited agian to add: Try your best to leave the DUI incident out of your grading decision. This should purely be based on operational/financial performance.

This says it all about some people here.

D - Developing

U - Unsatisfactory

I - Incomplete

Right now his GPA is .93, which would put him squarely in the F/D- range.

I Love that, send them to Summer school and if that doesn't work (Most Likely won't),then send them to a Military Academy.

So 3 people voted an A and 3 voted for a B. Oh I get it. Scott and Doug voted 3 times each. They didn't want to vote 6 A's. It would be TOO obvious.

Who's the other 13 with C and D's? Their families I guess.

Or 13 22 year olds fresh out of college working in the IT Dept.

With 96 votes (getting near a legtimate sample size here) Mr. Parker's GPA is an astounding .8125, or the equivalent of a D-.

I believe in 360 degree feedback, and I feel that at least 20% of a senior executive's compensation package be determined by the workforce that serves at his or her pleasure. My premise is that an employee is as much or even morese a stake holder in a corporation than an investor.

If Mr. Parker was a responsible leader, he would give himself a meaningful pay cut, and urge the board to link his compensation to an improvement in LCC's long term average stock price.

I’ll venture that the four "Outstanding" votes (so far) are from people who shorted LCC stock.

He has no interest in leading this company. His actions speak much louder than his words at the "feel good" pizza parties.

Parker is not a leader. He is a money manager. Same as Kirby. They have bitten off way more than they can chew with this merger and we are on a downhill slide simply because the don't understand how to run an airline or how vital a motivated, content workforce is to success.

Unless the BOD recognizes this incompetence that permeates Tempe, this company is not going to make it.

Regardless of what happens with the pilot seniority issues.

I don't even regard him as a money manager. Lakefield put the merger together, Parker fell into it. Since then every operation/strategic decision has been a debacle.
Stock now south of $29.

Jetblue's CEO and founder got ousted after one bad day, where is the board of directors in this company...pathetic.

GPA still at .8125. Interestingly, as the sample size grew from 96 to 112, the GPA stayed the exactly same.

I know this is a place many employees come to complain about mgmt, but, the fact that Mr. Parker cannot earn at least a solid "D" should be an embarrasment for him.

I don't know how much longer the BOD can support Mr. Parker, who in his own right may be a great financial tactician, but is simply not cut out to be an airline CEO.

IMHO, his leadership skills are quite lacking.
