I'm not that paranoid. I would HOPE.. that our folks that do the analysis are able to get enough information to cross reference facts and figures and more importantly, fill in the holes as data are compiled. If management is not forthcoming at that point, I would smell a rat and push for more.. if that is not coming then, well it gets ugly. I think our management at this point is exhibiting smarter traits than the geniuses over at SWA because they ARE engaging the pilot group.
