Yeah, all of the ex-CAL guys have heard these excuses for years (applied to all of the hubs as CEOs came and went) from actual airline managers, not the wannabe pilot “experts” around here, a lot of whom don’t even fly airplanes, from the look of it.

Yet when CAL had DEN and LAX bases IAH still thrived as an international airport, even when oil was the only economic driver in town. Oh well, Mama U has other plans and Kirby has done a good job running the place so it is what it is.

Anyway, I’m glad to have access to all of the management expertise here capable of explaining away the loss of market share!
