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
Interesting how they're worried about keeping a few sims up and running, but a blizzard can shut down ALL of ORD, cancelling THOUSANDS of flights, but we're going to shut down our ops in IAH and move to ORD since it's more "effective" for us (rather than keep a split ops???).......hmmmmmmmmm, I guess I just don't get the big picture.
