UA upped their mins in 1Q 1998, not 2000 so that doesn't fit. Also I believe the PF in the San Bruno deal was a man and a former longtime PAL guy who flew as a relief guy on the classic for years before going to the -400. Speaking of 2000 I believe NS had left her position by that time after being in and out the years prior due to a serious illness.
