• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

An airline feud that was personal

All the innovative human resources management in the world doesn't benefit your company if you grow beyond your financial capabilities.



Other, financially more stable airlines feel threatened and match or undercut your prices.
Hence, after only six years of existence, you have to sell out. In this case, ironically enough, to a former friend to whom you wanted to show that your business and company model can indeed work.
Unwillingly, your legacy lives on, at least...



...until the next rebranding.



Normally, a 727 doesn't care who it flies for, as long as it still has available cycles on the clock. That is, if a terminal doesn't get in its way and spells its early doom.

Now on Avsim and Flightsim (and soon here).



P.S: Reading Petzinger's "Hard Landing" at the moment. Best book ever!

P.P.S: The later Continental logo is hand-painted as the web doesn't have it in a proper form.
 
Ah, "People Express...." Those were the days! I used to drive up to Jacksonville, FL late Friday afternoon, stroll through the lobby and simply walk aboard and find a seat... Just like riding a bus!

$70 to Newark, NJ, a quick subway ride, and I was in NYC for the weekend! Woo-hoo! :applause:
 
Fares to dream about...

But those were the 80s in the US. Low fares and endless post-deregulation quarrels.
Most interesting times.
