Rule of thumb. When a government official resigns its to protect his or her boss. When corporate people resign, it’s because they are about to be charged.
I am not a fan of Chris Christie. But, here we have an individual responsible, so they say, for closing a couple of lanes of traffic on a busy bridge. He is under a Federal Investigation and drawing the ire of half the nation.
On the other hand, we have an individual that has broken at least several laws and her actions has put the security of this country at risk. Her status, nothing yet, she only maintained an illegal mail server, played loose with classified documents and lied her fat ass off. Her punishment, none, of course, she is a Democrat.
As a matter of record, “Old” Continental had a very successful “double loop” route between Columbia, Charleston and Newark (Liberty) airports for several years – and thru most of the ’90s – northbound in the early mornings (Newark by 11 AM, to my best memory), and southbound mid to late evenings (Columbia by 11 PM[?]), using the smaller planes (probably CRJ Bombardiers) and from time to time, an MD-80. Was a useful flight to many of us who had one-day or two-day business trips to NYC or upper NY cities like Albany. Nearly always on time (exceptions mainly because on NY winter weather) and nearly always “almost full” (occasionally oversold). At that time, one could also “gate check” a bag successfully, and it would be in the concourse by the time you were.
BUT: it was also at the time a successful competitor to both Delta and UScare’s morning/evening flights to NYC because you didn’t have to go to ATL (lose 2 hours) or CLT (lose at least one hour) and change planes. It also became a “window” to Boston and the “Up East” states, but you lost at least an hour connecting at Newark – I usually went Delta that way.
There is probably no doubt that the allegations against Mr Smisek are true. That’s the way a lot of business is done in the Garden State. I know. I still have 3 houses full of in-laws there, one of which exists on state building contracts which are overspecific about where certain building materials shall be purchased.
It doesn’t mean that it is a “Losing” route – only needs to be timed for ridership rather than for a VIP.
