I distinctly recall that when the pilots went out on strike at Continental Airlines that the Mechanics Union and Flight attendants Union, in solidarity went out with the Pilots. Then the Mechanics Union at Continental went out on strike, and the Pilots and Flight attendants Unions went out with them!
THEN, the Flight attendants went out on strike against Continental (and CEO Lorenzo?) and the Pilots Union, and the Mechanics Union failed to honor The Flight Attendant's Strike........

I also recall during those turbulent times at Continental, that the pilot of Lorenzo's corporate 727? landed him and his corporate jet ON A FRIKKIN' TAXIWAY at Stapleton and nothing has ever done to the pilot.....I have landed at the ol' Stapleton, and there is NO ONE that could mistake the massive 26 Left and 26 Right CONCRETE runways for a tiny asphalt taxi way......
