$misek's on record saying he came into the merger thinking E+ was DOA, that there was no way it could be profitable, and that he wanted to kill it off. You don't think there's any emotion in that? Lo and behold, PMUA books showed him that it actually was a pretty profitable enterprise. I'm hoping that was a humbling experience for him - but I doubt it.
We've already seen them backtrack (or start the process of backtracking) where their PMCO-mindset decisions have been in conflict with the realities of this airline. I'm sure we'll see many more as there's been a lot of shortsightedness to date.
No I don't see "emotion" in an opinion about E+. It was an EXPECTATION which had nothing to do with emotion and once properly studied, the decision to keep E+ was determined to be the more profitable. It is evidence that CO management is acting rationally and not emotionally. I think the emotion here stems from some UA customers who seem to think that everything management does is an affront to historic UA.
