nah... you think running an airline is everyone cutting flights, raising prices, and charging extra for things like a cartel.... and oh, giving $13.9M bonuses for savvy leadership...passengers and service quality don't matter, its all charging what the market will allow with no competitors. rolleyes: Alas the "wall street how to run a business" approach Jeff has used has not worked so far, and it has just run into a DOJ buzz saw...

Hope you were short on UAs stock...
