You know, after thinking about it, I'm not so sure the contract IS being violated. UAL does indeed own CAL now, and that means they are free to do whatever they want within the realm of their business model. They could technically close IAH I guess. They can do whatever they want. UAL has a crappy scope clause, unlike CAL. But CAL was just bought out - so there's going to be some changes made. Gee 757driver, what are you going to do now?
