He then received an MBA from the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University (1986), where American Airlines offered him a job after a campus interview.

Parker was a financial analyst at American Airlines from 1986 to 1991, and a member of then CEO Robert Crandall's "Brat Pack", alongside Thomas W. Horton (former CEO President and Chairman of American), C. David Cush (former CEO of Virgin America), and Ben Baldanza (former CEO of Spirit Airlines).

1991

Parker joined Northwest Airlines in 1991 and was tasked to help create a team that systematically figured out where the airline was making and losing money.

Tracking profits flight-by-flight in such detail at that level was a first for Northwest.

1995

Parker became chief financial officer of America West Airlines in 1995 after returning to the United States, and because then-CEO Bill Franke wanted to train him to be a CEO, Parker moved around between finance, sales, and operations.

2001

Parker previously served as chief executive officer of the airline from 2001 to 2023.

Parker was named Chairman and CEO in September 2001, 10 days before the September 11th terrorist attacks.

2007

Creditors rejected the bid in early 2007.

In 2007, Doug Parker pleaded guilty to his third driving under the influence charge and was sentenced to 1 day in jail.

2008

2012

In 2012, US Airways launched an effort to merge with American Airlines, while American's parent company, AMR Corporation, was in bankruptcy protection.

US Airways took the unprecedented step of securing tentative contracts with American's labor groups, while AMR was still pushing to exit bankruptcy.

2013

That deal closed on 9 December 2013, and Parker was named CEO of the combined company, which became the world's largest airline.

December 7, 2021, American Airlines Group announced Doug Parker will be retiring as the chief executive officer on March 31, 2022 he continued as chairman of American’s board before stepping down in April 2023.
