No joke. Management used to say that route printed money, until we changed CEOs and the next guy said it was total money pit. Go figure.

My personal favorite: they gave away one of CLE’s most valuable routes back in the day that had average, high-yield load factors above 90 percent almost year round. Their excuse? “There’s no opportunity for growth on that route.” That’s not the urban legend version, either. They actually published it in company updates and I might even still have a copy around here somewhere.

That’s when I stopped listening.
Wonder if you had the same level of sour towards IACP and CAL ALPA back when?

Nope. My “sour” has always been reserved for inept company management as I was too busy volunteering for IACP and CAL (and National) ALPA.
