United Airlines’s new top lawyer is flying high.
After walking away with a lucrative severance package from his former employer, Thomas Sabatino, Jr., is flying high. The veteran in-house lawyer has been named the new general counsel for UAL Corporation, the holding company of United Airlines. He started his new job at the end of March, and reports to CEO Glenn Tilton.
It’s a big change for Sabatino, 51, who has spent much of his legal career in the pharmaceutical industry. Before signing up with United, he was general counsel for drugmaker Schering-Plough. He oversaw its global law department until November 2009, when Merck & Co., Inc., bought the company for $41.1 billion.
