It's Time For Tilton To Go!

Maybe Gerald Arpey and his cast of executive incompetents can join Glenn Tilton in airline management purgatory.

Doesn't Tilton get something like a $40 million payday when he leaves UAL, regardless of the condition of the company or his performance?

I'm not a fan of Gerald Arpey or his merry band of VP's, but to compare what he's done to American to what Glenn Tilton has done to United is night and day. American was able to avoid bankruptcy, their unions still have their pensions and contracts largely intact (2003 concessions not withstanding). The airline is on sound financial footing and the shareholders haven't seen all of their equity wiped out.

All of that has happened at UAL. Arpey has made some bad decisions, but he hasn't shown anywhere near the callousness or treated American in the cavalier nature that Tilton has run United.
