Doogie gets arrested

" ....and I believe that events from 15 and 20 years ago do not reflect on the person I am today."

Funny. That is the same era my career started
at this airline. If it was me, UnitedHealthCare probably would not even pay for the rehab. Goodbye Doug.

I guess I'll be seeing him at the Caron Rehab Foundation. Tara Connor (The Donalds Miss USA) was just released from there two weeks ago this sunday. :elvis: :elvis: :elvis:

US Airways Releases Additional Statement Regarding Alleged DUI Incident

TEMPE, Ariz., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- US Airways (NYSE: LCC) today released the following statement in response to press inquiries regarding prior alcohol related offenses.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050223/LAW097LOGO)

Chairman and CEO Doug Parker stated, "While dated, I was regrettably involved in three other alcohol-related incidents in my twenties. Two involved driving under the influence (one a misdemeanor) and the third occurred in college while a passenger in a friend's car.

"As it relates to my past, I admit that I was indeed irresponsible at times in my twenties. I got my wake-up call long ago as I got married, had kids, and assumed positions of responsibility at work. As I communicated to our employees earlier this morning, my mistake of last week was just that -- a mistake, not a trend and I believe that events from 15 and 20 years ago do not reflect on the person I am today.

"Once again, I am extremely sorry for the embarrassment I have brought
upon US Airways. I accept full responsibility for my actions and guarantee it
will not happen again. I can't do much to change what I did in my twenties
but I can make sure that I handle all of this with the professionalism and
integrity that I value in myself and that our employees, customers and
shareholders deserve. All of our stakeholders have my commitment to do just
that." (LCCG)

Wow, he prefaces what he did in his twenties, and skims over quickly current events.

Rehab, buddy...rehab! B) Company offers EAS.

He'll get Lindsay Lohan style rehab where you can come and go as you please.

How come the company has held everything I've done in my twenties against me? Except my years of service for pay? Hmmm.

Oh crap!
Does that mean Rosie is going to pick on Doogie Monday on The View? With the last press release is Doogie trying to become the "Moral Compass" of former college drunkards now middle-aged millionaires who no longer have a tolerance for a few Miller Genuine Drafts? Is it mea culpa or mea gulpa?

Jeez, I don't pick up the phone four times and I get threatened with termination! I wonder where my airline career would be if I got four DUIs.

 

[allstrike]

Good luck Doug,better you than me!!

Kirby and Christ are playing paper, rock, and scissors right now to see who will lead the company.

LOL... this one takes it!

Does what you did last week reflect on the person you are today?

Hmm, that would make his 3 offenses between ages 25 and 30's...maybe he was with college friends, but they weren't in college anymore.

R-E-H-A-B!

DUI charge challenged?

"It's hard to know whether he was driving at a 0.07 percent and his BAC climbed to 0.096 percent by the time he actually took the test, or whether he was driving at 0.11 percent and came down to 0.096," Luellen said.

l4pi says: Yes I am sure that will be the case. It appears that Mr. Parker was conducting company business and thus is entitled to representaion, the use of company funds and the company PR department in order to resolve this unfortunate event.

Ah, and he's in India now and the other offender is the current Mrs. North Dakota. I am not kidding.
