You mean like when Parker told US's elites to go pound sand when he took over US from AW?

Anyway, US/AA will be horribly imbalanced between domestic and international flying. Way too much domestic exposure for the amount of international flying they are doing. I wouldn't be surprised to see them cut 10-15% domestic ASMs once the merger goes through.
