The smartest guy we had just quit

Rainey was the smartest guy there. This is bad news, particularly since he's being replaced with more Continental "talent" from the 1980's

Just curious if you saw numbers for what it would have cost to build new in any of the 3 cities vs staying at current location and consolidating to DEN. I haven't but would be interested to see what those numbers/offers were.

As far as the DENTK issue, I can't say I agree at all. DENTK supported an airline of this size before, and it will do so again easily. It's by far the least disruptive, and probably cheapest, solution of the three options. An added benefit is that I will no longer have to try to sleep at the end of a runway while I'm in training, and I can eat something other than fast food crap. Yet another bene is the chance to clean out the "non-members" running IAHTK

Say what you will about Mr. Rainey, but he has an MBA from Baylor and has been at Continental since 1997. I believe he is the brightest of our management team (not saying much, I know), and I hate to see him go. Hopefully, his reasoning is more of "an offer I can't refuse" than a rat bailing off a sinking ship.
