Denise O’Leary, member of the
“Reflecting on the past 35 years, I see remarkable progress across an industry that has become more stable for those who are employed in it and more consistent and reliable for those who utilize its services,” said Eberwein. “For American Airlines specifically, the opportunity that lies ahead is unlimited. Coming through the worst crisis of our lifetimes, I am supremely confident the team that Robert has assembled will steward this nearly 100-year-old company into its most successful chapter yet. I am truly humbled that our people-first philosophy has become ingrained in American’s values and is now an expected part of our every strategic decision.
“The ability to step back from a full-time role is made possible because of immensely talented executives like Cole, Ron and their teams. I have no doubt whatsoever in their leadership capabilities and I am in awe of the incredible creativity and work ethic they demonstrate every day. Lastly, I’m incredibly grateful to Doug, Robert, Derek, Maya and Steve, for allowing me to be a small part of this nearly 20-year journey. From our merger nearly a decade ago and through a global pandemic, we were always at our best when we brought our individual talents to the field, set egos aside, and competed as one team. Being a part of this team has truly been the honor of a lifetime.”
