From his jail cell, Abernathy vowed to fast through his 20-day sentence and pledged that "Resurrection Cities will spring up all over the country." One did, briefly, in Olympia, Wash., on a corner of the state capitol grounds.

At the same time, Continental's cost for such-things as crew training, landing fees and fuel have increased, and the company this year alone will take delivery of 20 new planes costing $89 million. In about four years, however, Six intends to start slowing down. Says he: "When I get to be 65, I want to stay active in the company, but I don't want to be on the firing line...
