Shareholders Meeting

[beachboy]

Just finished listening. At points I thought there was going to be an all out fist fight between two of the largest shareholders. One keep getting to close to Doogie and he said he was afraid of her. Yelling, screaming and the whole point was just a total loss! The most unprofessional, retarded, insane and backwoods meetings I have ever listened to. However, when a stockholder told Doug he had no clue how to run a "high class airline" it made it all worth it.

That was one of the crazies that said that.

It was funny there was an old HPP crazy and a OLD US crazy!

I'm stunned....just stunned. Stunned is the only word to describe how.....STUNNED I am. Did I mention I was stunned? I walked away like.... :blink: :huh: :blink:

If I had been in charge, I would have called either Security or the Tempe Police and removed then forcefully from the building. They both commandered the meeting, interrupted Doug and would not be quiet when they were asked to. The male whacko was screaming at the top of his lungs everytime the female whacko was talking. It was ok for him to ramble on but nobody else???

Is it still available?

 

[Travelpro72]

Most unprofessional which just goes without saying and the audio was HORRIBLE. I wanted some news and got nothing. What in HELL was the purpose of that meeting besides letting two YAHOO CRACKERS to grand stand?

 

[EMBFA]

I want to hear it! Is it on theHub? That stupid site is so slow. They'd be better off setting up a MySpace for god's sake

 

[Travelpro72]

Believe it or not there was no link on the HUB. I had to go to Usairways.comedy and click on news for the live feed. I don't know if you can listen to a playback. Honestly it's not worth it. The two crackpots yelling is barely audible.

It is required by law and that unfortunately has become pretty common. I listen to call on other companies that I own stock and you wonder if the people even know wha business they have invested in by all the dumb question.

Dr. Seymour the old AWA wacko has been like that for years, I cannot belive that his family has not had him commited and took away his money.

I liked how the lady crazy mentined Tilton asking her opinion about Doug during the merger talks, like yea right. What loons.

 

[EMBFA]

OMG is Zsa Zsa Gabor a stockholder? Now Archie Bunker is yelling at her?!?

Is this for real?

Is there any mention of the airline?

Oh my god this is actually pretty alarming to listen to- that guy is nuts! Why would they not remove these people? This place is doomed

It was a stockholder's meeting - it was not a town hall meeting. Out of control - oh yeah, bigtime. But that was not a meeting aimed at the employees. There was some good info in there if you listen for it.

 

[hp-csr-phx]

Maybe the two wackos will end up together like Mary Matalin and James Carville? Seriously though, Elise and Doug should have kept control of the meeting, even if they had to remove those two. What a waste of time, I'm glad I didn't drive to Tempe for that circus.

Did Doc Seymour say American West?

LOLZ

The outspoken woman is Evelyn Davis. She did not like the idea that the LCC and CAL meetings are on the same day.

Here is part of a USA Today article from several years ago.


By Gary Strauss, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — These are the best of times for Evelyn Y. Davis.

For more than 40 years, the eccentric corporate gadfly has tormented CEOs at annual shareholders meetings, where she dresses them down for excessive pay packages, poor corporate performance — even their girth.

Davis, long regarded as a grandstanding crackpot, is emerging as a formidable advocate for shareholder rights during the annual meeting season now in full bloom. She has already won several long-fought battles, currying widening support from shareholders ticked off over corporate scandals, exorbitant CEO pay and widespread stock losses.

"My new title is queen of the corporate jungle," says Davis, a diminutive, Dutch-born Holocaust survivor who speaks with a thick accent. "I operate on my own, but my work benefits a lot of shareholders. Nobody knows Corporate America like Evelyn Y. Davis."
