Well of course, there are countless ways you can spin this. Like Lorenzo, Bedford will find a way to maximize this to his benefit no matter who gets hurt in the process. For all we know the Frontier thing might be a way to get them out of Denver (as previously stated by some), sell he assets and the employees go bye bye, while UA takes care of RAH through their CPA. As far as the Midwest thing goes, well, I'm not sure what the reverend is go in mind there, but SWA and Airtran are already moving in on that turf, which means that even with the POS rates he pays his pilots on the 190, he's going to have to get very creative to compete in the big leagues. But again, like Lorenzo, Bedford will find a way to make money on it, regardless of what it may do to his workforce or anyone else for that matter.

...and you all thought that spineless deals only happened in wall street!
