For some reason instead of "Exxon Mobil" I thought the oil company was "Gulf Mobil." No clue why though.

Please accept Texas Air for Continental. This was a hugely important and, unfortunately, mostly forgotten example of early 1980s "greed is good" philosophy by the much-loathed Frank Lorenzo leading to a bankruptcy and near-destruction of what had previously been a great company by the mid-1980s. I lived through this tumultuous time, and I think corporate America learned all the wrong (or perhaps right, from their perspective) lessons from this.
