Also don't forget you have a career move. And also don't forget that the IAH base is not closing

No doubt that the captain is surprised after seeing Denver expanded and closed twice by Continental and United management after hearing from both of them that Denver has never made money for either Airline, while Houston has always been profitable and was expanding into South America which was part of the reason for the 787 purchase, to replace the 767s.

#50 in power grid reliability? I've lived in TX several times over the years and never found the power grid to be less reliable than anywhere else in the country. And the US is far better than most of the rest of the world for power grid reliability.
That's just one of the rankings I don't care about. There are a whole lot of other bogus measurements that went into those rankings.
The top 4 on that list: MA, NH, MN, ND. They're at the bottom of my list because I've got to buy a snow shovel to live there. ND is #4? Really? https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings
