You can start by reading and responding in detail and with counter factual evidence. Or Lax, Axl you can post supporting arguments without putting down the CAL pilots.
Respectfully, your facts fit your paradigm very nicely. But if CAL had no intention of growing, why then did they order & option over 180 aircraft, most of which where placed well before 2008. You forgot to add that many of those orders were delayed during the 2008/9 financial crisis. An even better question is why, if UAL had intended to continue to compete, why didn't they order at least replacement aircraft?
