American Airlines CEO; NYC Subway Slump; ‘Til Next Time, Beijing

American Airlines CEO Doug Parker spoke with CNBC’s Phil LeBeau and the ‘Squawk Box’ team to break down the company’s latest fourth-quarter earnings report. In his last interview as CEO, Parker considers omicron’s impact on industry recovery, provides a bookings forecast for the spring, and discusses the nation’s 5G rollout. The Winter Olympics kick off in two weeks, but NBC’s announcers have decided against traveling to Beijing over Covid-19 concerns. Plus, is it finally time for NYC employees to return to the office--and the office commute? If they don’t, there could be dire consequences for the rest of the city.
