As far as the whole Continental, "let's Easternize this" and "harvest" United's flights, I'm not worried about that. We, the legacy UAL, would rather destroy the airline than allow that scenario to take place. First word of L-UAL furlough and this place will burn to the ground. Summer 2000 will look tame in comparison. I'd rather burn this place down than let some scab mentality pilot profit on my demise.
So, on one hand you trust Hepner and his "bold maneuvering," but on the other hand you aren't worried about the canibalization of ual. Which camp do you think is spreading the fear about cal taking ual flying, ala easternize?
I'd be careful about espousing the "burn the house down" theory. Those who you are hoping to do battle with in that escapade are the sheep buying the fear spread by the Hepner camp.
