poor arpey

like we should feel sorry for him WTF



respect the decision of the Board of Directors to take this path, and I am grateful for their request that I continue serving as your Chairman and Chief Executive. However, after careful consideration, I concluded that my remaining in those roles would not be best for the company. In my view, executing the Board's plan will require not only a reevaluation of every aspect of our business, but also the leadership of a new Chairman and CEO who will bring restructuring experience and a different perspective to the process. That is why I informed the Board of my decision to retire from the company.

Those who know me well will understand that idleness is not in my nature, and so it is my intention to accept one of the offers that have come my way over the years. I have decided to join the Emerald Creek Group, an investment firm.

Arpey joins investment firm launched by former Continental Airlines chairman and CEO

Did not waste anytime looking to destroy another company.




""We are very fortunate to have an executive of Gerard's caliber joining our team," Kellner said in the announcement.

"I have known Gerard for many years, and watched with admiration as he led American Airlines, with steadfast integrity and fortitude, through the most challenging decade in the history of the airline industry," he said.

"Few executives, in any industry, have confronted as many complex, difficult issues as Gerard has - and fewer still have led their companies through tough times with as much skill, character and grace," he said."

What a joke. The company goes bankrupt under his watch with over 15 billion in debt and now he joins an "investment" firm?............
