It was reported in Just Plane News.com this morning that J. Steven Whisler will resign as a member of the Board of Directors for US Airways. Whisler, who has been on the Board of US Airways since 2001, is set to step down on December 31st.
In a statement provided by US Airways’ Chairman and CEO Doug Parker, Parker highlights his appreciation for Whisler. Parker is quoted as saying, “We are grateful to Steve for his counsel and influence over the past decade – the most challenging period in the history of commercial aviation. Steve’s business acumen and leadership have helped us navigate during these volatile and uncertain times and he has served our shareholders well. On behalf of the US Airways Board, we thank Steve for his valuable contributions.”
Whistler, who is the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Phelps Dodge Corporation, was a cog in the merger between US Airways and American West Airlines in 2005. While it is unclear the reason behind his departure or who his replacement will be, it appears as both sides of the break are amicable.
