TwinIon Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I had to double check and make sure this was indeed the CEO that in 2017 said “I don’t think we’re ever going to lose money again. We have an industry that’s going to be profitable in good and bad times.” Somehow I'm not shocked that he was unable to predict the future.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The company should be forced to close, but the CEO and other executives, board members, and major share holders should still be on the hook to pay the active pensions for the rest of their lives or until all AA pensioners have died.

That seems a bit excessive. Especially considering all the employees it would impact. Not to mention AA provides a huge portion of passenger uplift for the US economy. Other airlines would take a very very long time to cover that flying. We just need a more regulated system for the executives. Hell, I would have loved to see the acceptance of the bailouts last year require new executive staffing to be required. All the big airlines had huge stock buybacks over the last decade that would have helped them stay afloat longer. Instead they let their debt increase while temporarily appeasing the stockholders. Punish the execs, not the workers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
