Having had a few Pilots (CAL) in the JS doing their weekly pilgrimage from IAH-DEN working on various Flt Ops stuff with their UA counterparts, it's been interesting to hearing what's been going on out at TK as both side work on 'developing the future'.

As of a few months ago, one of these Pilots did express the subtle dynamics of 'jockeying' between the two POI's as to who would potentially get the nob as the successor in the new Company. As sad as it is (and as much as one does not want to think it goes on to some degree), I wonder how much future 'job security' plays into how much a POI would be willing to "texture the waters" on something like that? I sure hope 'he' would do the right thing.
