I am all for the maximum agony that can be inflicted on Parker.

Did he bully both of you as a child?

You may have missed that US was 5th in on-time arrivals over the last 12 months, AA was 13th (out of 13). US was fifth (below industry average) in mishandled bags, AA was ninth (above industry average). US was 12th in passenger complaints, AA 14th (nearly 50% higher). LCC stock is up 55% in the last year. AA is, well, bankrupt.

I think the job of a CEO is to run an airline and make money for the shareholders. The numbers paint a different story than agony and pond scum.
