Sailing,
While I disagree with you fairly frequently, I respect your opinion and appreciate the thought you put into your posts, and your perspective. I DO recall well what you've said regarding what it will take to get a yes vote from you on our upcoming contract....
I, for one, and I'm sure I speak for many on this forum, appreciate what you've done regarding furthering the interests of Delta pilots in general.
Integrity is something that I believe in very, very strongly and I appreciate that quality in others. Thank You!
Very well said. I'm often amazed at some of the personal disrespect that a few posters choose to display. I think sailing has a pro-ALPA stance (I guess I do too, or more specifically, I favor improving ALPA over the DPA). Maybe sometimes he sounds more like a LCP than I would like. Seldom do I find that he lacks insight, or knowledge, even if some of his conclusions are debatable.
But he doesn't deserve some of the hysterics. In this case, three different posters have criticized him for speculating about the company's opener, and suggested this, somehow, means he's manipulating opinion. None of them could explain how they made the link between what he said and what they accuse him of, but simply attack him... because it's him.
If you can't coherently attack a person's thesis, because you have no point,
it's OK to actually
let it go. You don't get demerits for not posting.
