Bingo, Cohiba. Continental went through a period of tremendous pain (2 visits through Chapter 11 and almost a third), and cutting what did not make money to get where they are now. They grounded entire fleets (the A300 was the first to go), and entire division (Continental Lite), and the Lite hub in GSO. I encourage everyone to read Grodon Bethune's book From Worst to First. It shows a master game plan for turning around a consistent money loser into a winner. It is scary (in a good way) to see how close our situations parallel each other. It is not a coincidence that Dave worked at CO and now we are using the same game plan. We are not Southwest, and never will be, but I do not hear my counterparts at CO bad mouth where they are at. Sure, they may not be the highest paid in the industry, but their employees have job security relative to other majors. Peace of mind and thus, quality of life mean a lot.
