About

American Airlines merged with US Airways in 2013 to become the world’s largest airline. Previously at US Airways, Jennifer Stojak is responsible for all benefits issues in the company’s newly-formed legal function. ‘This is an enormous job for any attorney because of the wide range of knowledge that is necessary,’ says Christine Keller of Groom Law Group. ‘However, here, her role is even more challenging, as there are many unique issues associated with aligning the benefits offered when two companies merge, particularly with a unionized workforce’. In handling these challenges, Stojak is praised highly for her problem solving, strong technical ability, business acumen and positive relationship-building skills. ‘It is clear that Jennifer is on a trajectory within the new American Airlines that can only result in her role within the company expanding and rising in the future,’ Keller adds.
