Doug Parker, CEO of US Airways, may be one of the few airline top execs currently able to smile for a portrait. With his company going north in the midst of an economy headed south he is "Rides Out the Turbulence".

I would love to tell you that my photography played a part in the success, but that wouldn't be true. On the other hand, perhaps my photos bring people good luck so why tempt fate. Nothing beats good luck and hard work.

The question that haunts me is: Was the US Airways boardroom color keyed to the logo of Vanderbuilt Business or did Vanderbilt Business key its logo to the hues of the US Airways board room?
