His (Parker) ability to smooth over pilot union issues and dunk driving skills being key to his choice as CEO.

Four separate senioroty numbers, all showing such regard for one another. It'll take generations to get past the turmoil. Scheduling will love this. Good luck. I do hope it works out, and remember who really wins in this fight. It's not the pilots.

remember who really wins in this fight. It's not the pilots.

That's the one thing pilots seem to forget, who the real enemy is.

And to celebrate, Parker will buy beers for everyone at the combined airline! No cab rides provided.

After having Wolfe and then Siegal as a CEO it's actually been nice having Parker as a CEO. He has turned US Airways around and comes to meetings each month and gets beat up sometimes from employees on Q & A's. He doesn't have to show up for those crew news events but he does. I think he does it because he really enjoys the airline industry and loves running a airline. Not just looking for the Golden Chute like many we've had in the past. Only time will tell however.

We all have our faults and may he without sins cast the first stone.

I think Parker will do a fine job. Lets all hope!

OK, but remember any pilot found drunk driving is probably grounded.
