Discussion with Doug Parker of how he is thinking of pulling off the second large merger in a short period of time, America West, US Airways, and now Delta possibly. What they learnt from their previous experience and what they are planning to do with the new merger, difficulties ahead and how they hope to accomplish this. The experience of US Airways employees with prior managements is telling. Parker realized this when he talked to employees and learned many things that would keep them motivated, instead of being cynical and skeptical. But it still comes too soon to have a second merger, when the first one is still far from having addressed all problems.
