OMG! What kind of revisionist history are you reading?

Frank Lorenzo nearly destroyed Continental! How many other people in history have ever been BANNED by the federal government from ever owning an airline again?

Gordon Bethune saved Continental from the edge of a liquidation and turned the post-Lorenzo ugly duckling into a beautiful swan with grit, hard work, and a lot of employee sacrifice. Read "Worst to First" if you want to see what a mess Lorenzo left for Gordon.

Let's see. You "read" that Lorenzo built the modern Continental. You've never heard of the Railway Labor Act. What the h*** do you know about your profession anyways? Not a whole lot, it seems.
