Perhaps Parker should begin buying some late-night time on the local cable stations and produce some half hour infomercials extolling the benefits of a combination between US and AA.

He is clearly a desperate man.

 

[Pi brat]

I haven't seen you in a while AA. When this merger first hit the news you were pretty vocal in your opposition. How are you feeling these days?

 

[Pi brat]

Never mind, I found your posts in the other thread.

I'm thinking he'd do better hiring the "Sham Wow!" guy.

"It's slices, it dices........" What a vision.

I'm thinking this thing will look like the Bass-o-matic.

Pretty much my thoughts as well. Sadly though...with the various employee groups cast in the role of the fish....

 

[AAviator]

Strangely, I missed this event...

Why hasn't a certain pilot posted all about it? Could it be the message is the one we've heard a thousand times?

He seemed a little herky jerky when asked if he would support a merger if he were not running the airline....

Well, he didn't say anything about the merger being supported by the East and West LABOR groups at US Airways. Now that is a merger that still hasn't happened after 7 years.

What he did say when MB asked him about LCC Labor IMO is, "IT'S IRRELEVANT".

Ahhhh, it's so nice being irrelevant. Thanks USAPA!

Pilots are hardly the only people concerned here Bean. Perhaps you missed the part about NO, as in ZERO labor groups from US being involved or even considered at all here....?
