Dolara: “The entire American Airlines team mourns the passing of Peter Dolara,” said Isom. “Peter was a legendary figure at American, in South Florida and throughout Latin America. He was integral to the growth of our Miami hub and Latin America network, and American would not be what it is today without his vision and leadership. Our thoughts are with Peter’s family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time.” Dolara, who was affectionately known to his team as “El Jefe,” retired from American in 2012 after more than four decades of service. He joined the company in 1971, and early in his career, held numerous sales positions for the airline’s Eastern Division, based in New York. He was named Vice President of Atlantic/Caribbean and New York Sales in 1984 and Senior Vice President in 1989. <https://s202.q4cdn.com/986123435/files/images/thumbs/251115-peter-dolara-full.jpg> Peter J.
