.....I think you meant humanly possible, but maybe not.
If humanely means denying rides to hot chics with big boobs in skimpy clothes, I think not.

United Airlines To Park Up to 70 Aircraft, Behead Ted, and Announce Headquarters' Layoffs
Our informed sources tell us this afternoon (hey, I'm on Pacific time) that we should hear more details Tuesday on United's plans to contract.
On the cutting board (and I know this is going to upset Cranky Flier immeasurably) will be Theodore, better known as yet another tried and then discarded airline within an airline adventure. Yes, you all know the adventure as "Ted."
Secondly, we're told that the airline will announce the grounding of at least 70 aircraft.
Layoffs? Did someone say layoffs? (A nod to Coach Jim Mora there...)
Yes. We're hearing at least 1500 folks are going to be on the short end of pink slips at UAUA headquarters.
Sad, really...it was the Taj Mahal of airline jobs 10 years gao...
I believe that the goverments mismanagement of the airline business is the greatest thing that has killed us. It doesnt allow us to price fix to really take out a competitor. Doesnt allow us to merge when we really need to consolidate. Allows too many entrance to the industry without much thought of how it will affecct this important commodity.
So was it United turning their backs on US Airways or the other way around?
Gup
...As triggers start to happen it could be fairly quick. A 30 day timeframe is not out of the realm of possibilities.
Its so sad to see. In my opinion its about to be worse than Sept.11. For those lucky enough to be holding on still, count your lucky stars. Thats exactly what it is, luck.

All just to make sure Joe Schmoe can get a 80 dollar ticket. If you sitting in a good place right now thank God. You could be the next Aloha, ATA, UAL junior guy etc. Good luck guys.
