Why does UA not codeshare with WN and "Fix the Problem"?

This entire current UA management team must leave or problem solved? SMI/J speaks down on his employees, throws a few jabs at DL (who is currently making record profits),

Rips former UA management, says the pmUA employees need more training, etc. Is this CEO nuts?

Solution, CODESHARE WITH WN on all domestic flts. I'm the first with this brilliant idea. No more RJ's. No more UA agents in the USA, except in Hubs connecting to UA's International network, less Union talks.

SMI/J with his statements this week seem to think CO was the greatest thing since sliced toast with a few of those sausage patties thrown in. This WN codeshare solves many problems:

No RJ's, friendly staff, similar on-time record , no meals, etc.

You also do not need to look for RJ pilots (shortage), and can fire maybe 60,000 UA employees (UA already started in Canada and Hawaii). It's a win-win, and meets all goals for SMI/J.

The start of TWA's demise: (Quote)
"There's no money in the Pacific and there's no money in cargo. We're gonna' shrink this airline 'til it's profitable." These two oversights are said to have been the undoing of TWA, in addition to Sandro Andretta' s resignation in December 1991.
Is this going to happen to the "new UA"?
