I hadn't considered profit. That's kind of working for me, especially given that the one toilet on the plane didn't flush.

I have a good friend who was a navigator, co-pilot and now is a pilot with another major airline. He always calls Continental "Scumbag Airlines". That's from an employee's viewpoint. As a passenger who flies regularly on regional puddlejumpers into Minneapolis and Chicago to connect with the big jets, I don't think Continental Express is probably any worse than any of its competitors, such as United Express.
