A Look Back at PlaneBusiness Wild Turkey Award Winner Doug Parker
Back in 2004, before America West did the deal for US Airways as part of that airline's bankruptcy filing, we awarded the first PlaneBusiness Wild Turkey Award for Airline Excellence to a relative unknown at the time -- America West Chairman and CEO Doug Parker.
Given the current headlines in the airline industry, I thought readers might like to read why we thought so highly of Parker -- even then.
The award is named in honor of Herb Kelleher, the legendary founder of Southwest Airlines. Herb graciously ships a case of Wild Turkey Rare Breed to all PlaneBusiness Wild Turkey Award recipients.

A Look Back at PlaneBusiness Ron Allen Award Recipient for Airline (Mis)Management: Gerard Arpey
Conversely, in 2006, we awarded then- American Airlines CEO Gerard Arpey with the PlaneBusiness Ron Allen Award for Airline (Mis)Management.
This award is given to the airline CEO we feel has done the poorest job of leading their respective airline during a given time period.
Arpey was not the first American Airlines CEO to win this honor; Don Carty preceded him in 2004.
