.... that's what happens when you put a bean counter in charge. IMHO, and a few pilots at CO, he should be sent down to the basement to play with his calculators instead.

He's not Bethune, but he was one of Gordo's right hand men. I can't imagine Gordon Bethune would let all his hard work be destroyed. Larry has made some questionable moves but I as you can see CAL is doing just fine.

yeah CO is realizing their mistake... $44,000 in one outstation in hotel rooms, restitution for bumping passengers, and bookings on other airlines as a result of their operations. they weight restricted one flight into the mid-30's because of weather. Not all the blame of this goes onto chitaqua... why put a crj on a route you should have known cant handle it? well then you ask yourself why bid on it? And now xjt is running the ground crews for a couple of their outstations because those were separate contracts. Chitaqua didn't take those fees into account or perhaps continental didnt.... so xjet is still getting paid for its services. if you go into any outstation and talk with rampers, gate workers, managers... they all say the situation sucks. Its a shame to because people dont know the diffeence between Chitaqua and express all they know is "continental express sucks! the booted 20 people off of my flight then cancelled the next flight for maintenance"

very true, I hate to blame CHQ guys, I mean especially since they had nothing at all to do with getting the flying, but you have to realize that they never planned on Jimbo telling Larry to go ******* Himself and keep the Airplanes....................
