He then held executive positions in labor relations, legal, airport affairs and government affairs at US Airways and, after the 2013 merger, with American Airlines. During his tenure with American, Mike led a team tasked with managing state and local government affairs throughout the US, as well as airport relationships around the world. He and his team negotiated the airline-airport agreements that approved redevelopment programs at New York’s LaGuardia and JFK airports, Washington Reagan Airport, Chicago O’Hare International Airport and several others.
