Corporate Raiding Prick..........
None of the Pilots, Mechanics, ticket people or Flight attendants got paid their last three months of work that they had done.
Lorenzo was able to convince some Judge, that HE should be able to keep all that Continental corporate had contributed to their employees retirement funds.......Having won that, THEN he tried to keep all the money that the employees had contributed to their retirement funds, and FINALLY that judge said enough is enough....NO

I knew a number of CAL employees, and his actions threw all of them into bankruptcy......I am sure that happened with most of the CAL employees...

AND, like the PATCO people, Reagan looked the other way.......

Of course, we have to quit calling it the Reagan Administration.....He was merely a puppet or pawn of the person who was truly running the Party for twelve years.....HWBUSH...........

Soon to be repeated with Cheney/Rumsfeld truly running the drug/alcohol brain addled WBush administration.

And then the Republican CABAL that were running the Trump first term, and the Republican 2025 group that is running Trump's second term........
