DUI arrest, 3 prior incidents tarnish Parker's clean image

US Airways did not say whether Parker, who like many executives gets an automobile allowance as part of his compensation package, faces any disciplinary action. Comments by Parker on Friday suggest that he believes his job is secure.



US Airways' lead director, veteran Phoenix businessman Rich Kraemer, did not respond to requests for comment. It is unclear how much the US Airways board knew, if anything, about the incidents in his 20s, including a misdemeanor conviction for driving while intoxicated when he worked at American Airlines in Dallas in January 1991. The conviction was first reported Friday on The Republic's Web site......



Parker has been cited for speeding as many as three times in Scottsdale and near his residence in Paradise Valley, according to court rec- ords.

He was cited twice in the past two years after speeding past Scottsdale photo speed-enforcement cameras.

This just in...

Cincinnati OH.

Doug Parker was named an honorary Cincinnati Bengal today just prior to the Pro Bowl game. "You have showed that we are not alone" said one player who would not reveal his name.

Will he lose his liscense because of all this? I thought when you got a DUI you lose your liscense for a year? My sister had one a few years ago in Seattle and she had to do 1 day in jail and a 1 year loss of liscense.

Are You sure about that? I thought that was to be if he acquired Delta. No wonder he drank so much, he wanted to be "Tony the Tiger"! He's drrrrrrrrrrrrrunk!

I guess the next theme plane will be a Bungle one, complete with police substation and holding cell on board. (Sorry, Steeler fan here... phasers set me up.)

Will Budweiser pay for a flying bottle?

Will Budweiser pay for a flying bottle?

Only if the open end of the bottle is in the rear or the plane, otherwise it would be too tempting for the pilots to drink.

Gentlemen

Do you not have any concern or empathy for the employees of US Air concerning this unfortunate event. I am quite sure that they will have to face the customers of this airline when they fly and will hear similar caustic remarks. As evidenced from several post on other threads, many of the US employees find this event extremely embarrassing.

When would be a good time for you all to grow up and refrain from furthering their discomfort?

It is my opinion the referenced employees are beyond embarrassment.

A case for the E.A.P. Hopefully DP will admit he has a problem and then he will regain a measure of respect. Otherwise, he will be in denial, and we will have to move on with a CEO who not only will not deal with the airlines' outstanding labor issues, but his personal problems will remain unresolved as well.

You're a CEO, Doug. Act like one.
