You obviously don't know what you're talking about. If you did, you'd know that Lee wouldn't have won without near unanimous support from his own MEC (North and South) and the UAL MEC after Captain Rice dropped out. He also got the support of the Alaska MEC and the AirTran MEC in the end.

There will probably be ties to the international airlines which will make Lee strongly support cabotage and foreign ownership. That's my bet.
Much of Lee's campaign focused on preventing these things. I don't see him changing his tune.
