Ex-Schering-Plough General Counsel -- To United Airlines' HoldCo.


Amazing. His first day on the job is next Monday, March 29, 2010.

There is little more to say. I'll update this item, with his compensation, and full employment agreement, when it is available, via an SEC Form 8-K filing:

. . . .Chicago, March 22, 2010 (Business Wire) -- UAL Corporation, the holding company whose primary subsidiary is United Airlines, today named Thomas J. Sabatino Jr. senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary.

Sabatino joins United from Schering Plough where he served as executive vice president and general counsel, and oversaw the company's global law department. . . .

I am put in mind of at least a thousand jokes. I'll offer. . . none of them.

Remember Fred's (figuratively) crashing of the personal jet?

The New Merck "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" 'Copter-Pilot?

I'll say no more.

well (not that I want to detract from a hero) there's always the plane that landed in the Hudson!

Yeh -- But this guy's pantlegs (the guy who is the subject of the main post, here) get wet from his inseam, down, in situations like that one. Sully's, in contrast, only got wet from the bottom up -- and only to the calves. . . as he stood inside the slowly sinking end of his plane, belly-floating on the Hudson.
