William Douglas Parker

As of April 30, 2023, 61-year-old Doug Parker will be stepping down from his current chairman position at American Airlines. Parker had an incredibly long career at American Airlines (and its predecessors), as he was CEO of American from 2013 until 2021. That doesn’t even account for the time he spent as CEO of America West and US Airways, as he collectively spent over 20 years as CEO of those three US airlines, and oversaw two mergers.
