Were it not for PE, it's unlikely that UA would have a hub at EWR. Shortly after the acquisition, CO did raise fares, but not by crazy amounts in most cases.

True, but what does that have to do with the topic?

There appears to be a little thread drift, but if you accept the fact that PE went on to become part of UA many years later, I think including them in this discussion is fare game. EWR was a nasty airport back then, and they didn't include "New York" in the name, but apparently CO saw potential in it.
