She took a leave to build the "John Galt Line" but then returned to Taggert Transcontinental. She finally shrugged at the end but why not leave the company sooner? Maybe work for the Phoenix Durango or start over. Didn't she benefit from the deals James made? Why not take a stronger stand?

I thought she did quit but not right away. She built something against all odds only to have it destroyed in the end, right? Or did I forget and need to read AS again?

And if she had quit and started her own line would she had any more chance at all with the odds or would the outcome have been the same? Hmmm.
