Thanks to Terry Maxon over at the Dallas Morning-News, who writes this week in the DMN airline blog that analyst Bob McAdoo — who we last heard from just before Prudential announced it was shutting down its equity research group — has been hired as an analyst for Avondale Partners LLC of Nashville.

As some of you are aware, Bob had stints with People Express, Vanguard, and TWA, among others, before he switched to the “dark side.”

Just two weeks before Prudential announced it was shutting down its equity group in June , McAdoo had made some news of his own — as he issued a research note on Southwest Airlines that was particularly negative regarding the airline’s strategic moves in the last several years.
