In early April of 2010 UAL and U.S. Air were close to a deal. Upon getting wind of it, Jeff quickly called Glen up on his New Mexico horse ranch and started in with his ugly girl talk to stop it. Why did he do that if things were so rosy at CAL? Aircraft orders don't mean a thing if the ship is sinking. UAL was consistently outperforming CAL by the latter part of the decade as noted by the arbitrators.
This theme promoted by guys like yourself of some paradise being stolen from you is bizarre. Or comical, since it starts to remind me of Al Bundy's four touchdowns in one game high school glory talk.
I'm gonna sit back on the couch now, just like Al.
