Well, Gordo was just a puppet for Brenneman and Bonderman. I'll take a Brenneman and Bonderman over 100 Gordos. Gordo not only hired/kept Fred Abbott and Debbie McCoy, but he also hired and promoted smallsack.
Gordo hired those a$$clowns and that's also his legacy.


Gordo's just a motivational speaker who was able to squeeze every ounce of blood out of Continental's labor groups. Brenneman and Bonderman could have installed Tony Robbins (motivational speaker) as CEO and the outcome would have been better because Tony Robbins is smarter than Gordo and wouldn't have spent most of his time impregnating flight attendants.

Brenneman and Bonderman were the brains behind Continental's turnaround.
