An astute and ultimately pointless observation. Alive or not, they’re also both effectively blacklisted from the industry.

I think Doug was the right man for a particular time period. But he has had missteps.

DP has been an excellent leader and has done a great job with HP/US/AA. Haters are gonna hate no matter whom the CEO of AA is.

You mean like lying and undermining his labor, racking up $25 billion in debt, increasing share buybacks at an astronomical level, while being the he and Isom are the two biggest shareholders in the company missteps? I guess it really depends on which end you're looking at in regards to missteps.

Tell me about the amazing atmosphere at AA pre-merger. Oh, wait.

Any relation to the PSA problems occurring right now? They could merge PSA/Piedmont/Envoy for one to streamline something.
Whoever they drop could apply at Mozzy Air.....I hope

I doubt many PSA employees would be affected by the upcoming layoffs. PSA used to be part of US Airways group before the merger. Instead, I think LAA management, especially those based in NYC, will be impacted the most.

During the HP US Merger it became so clear at how the US employees were angry, bitter, rude and hateful. Nothings changed for you it seems. I hope for you that you've sought out employment elsewhere.
