I usually try to avoid flaming, But McNugget you're wayyyyyy off base and it would be nice if you'd do some research as well as learn how to push a noun against a verb without blowing something or someone up.
Compared to the previous management Parker is doing exceptionally well. The AA FA's errantly voted down the TA (many of whom wanted a 'redo' that could not be redone)--in which pay WAS the only thing that could be addressed (which was poorly communicated or poorly received depending on how you look at it)--due to some last minute buffoonery and suspicion (this had its roots in good intentions but was very poorly communicated). Anything they would have gotten in arbitration would have been less and that's exactly what happened as it went to the arbiter. Despite a ruling (essentially halfing the original proposed TA increase), Parker decided to restore the full amount in the TA out of respect for the value of employee goodwill--just like ATY posted. He could have done absolutely nothing but saw the value in a happy workforce.
Oh, and threw in another 4% on top of this.
Hardly the behaviour of someone contemptuous.
It is early days there, but many are impressed by what he is doing. A lot better than anything we are seeing as well as a lot better than has happened at American in decades.
