American Airlines CEO won’t attend a Feb. 9 meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump and leaders from other carriers because it conflicts with a company event. Doug Parker will remain in Texas where he will address the final day-long session of American’s annual leadership conference, the airline said Wednesday. At the meeting, Parker and other top executives will lay out this year’s priorities for the world’s largest carrier. Thursday’s session is the last of four that involve more than 6,000 company managers from around the world. Parker “already has been in touch with the White House regarding this conflict,” said Matt Miller, a spokesman for American. “Doug shares President Trump’s commitment to modernizing our nation’s infrastructure and looks forward to working with his administration to ensure all Americans have access to safe and efficient air travel.”<br/>
