WOW! This is getting confusing..

He said that RAH couldn't compete out US Airways hubs. I don't think Parker cares what RAH does in DEN or if he does there is nothing he can do about it. Doesn't RAH control a bunch of US assets as well like slots or something? If they do that is a strong bargaining chip that Bedford controls.
Apparently UA can't do anything about RAH or they too are simply too exposed to RAH to do anything about it at this point in time. I think it is unrealistic for UA to drop Shuttle because who could replace them in short order?
If the RAH contracts aren't renewed by the legacy partners then we'll know how they truly feel about Bedford.
