Now back to the regularly scheduled humptity bumpity programming.
Ual contract didn't allow growth? 737 flying in ORD, DEN, LAX was not allowed? C'mon man. The SFO MOU proved that growth could be shared. Where do you come up with this stuff? Now the Cap vacancies are being flooded with LUAL guys, and we are enjoying the reserve cushion the LCAL millennials are providing. Thank you.
