down the road five years or so for career

Continental and United over a much longer period of
ten years, and United had come out of bankruptcy in
February of 2006.
"So I chose to look at March 20, 2009 because that's the prime indicator of future airline viability, but only at the am departures, because that's what really matters, and only at the city pairs between Texas and New York, because that's what really matters, and only at narrow body flying, because that's what really matters, and narrow bodies are really wide bodies in every way" .. good God, surely we can find a better expert witness than this.
You know what's really scary ? The UAL counsel knows what the CAL counsel is going to assert before they even do, and presents countermanding testimony before they're even on the record with said testimony.
