Hard to tell if this is genuine leadership or just a publicity stunt to make him look more "Bernie Sandersish" to his employees. Either way, Parker remains the #464 highest paid CEO in America and still makes the equivalent of about $1.16 Million PER MONTH, according to SEC information on his AA stock ownership. Hard to be "one of the workers" when you gross in one day what the average mid-level flight attendant makes in an entire year ($38,600). I'm sure he earns it, though...

The Cactus Cowboy is at it again. I suppose he wants to ask collective bargaining employees to go forward without a contract too!

Nice try Doug. The Unions are not buying the bit.

Good for him! Now, will this spark a revolution demanding the same from the ranks of other entitled, "professional CEOs" with far lower levels of skill and accomplishment?

It's about time.
