A major reason for that he cited is to 'protect' the training system....IE - Cat 5 Hurricane hit's IAH, DEN is still running....Crippling Tornado/or huge Snow Storm knocks DEN down, IAH is still running. Again....just one guy who was there, I obviously was not.
I did find it funny that this also went on to say that Jeff actually showed up with 2 guys, dressed in suits that stood in the back of the room/doorway during this entire meeting held at a local hotel in IAH (From what he said, it was CAL/UAL School House people there). When Jeff was done with his horse-n-pony show, the two gentlemen 'escorted' him out when he left....don't remember "Frank" ran around with his own muscle/posse

That's also what we were told at the fall check airman meeting. As far as the suits, he usually has Mark Moran in tow to answer operations questions.
