No, you're right, you weren't attacking the messenger at all. Show me the part were you were taking issue with my logic, just in case.

My argument is this: I have been overcome by a strange case of the "bull$hits" when faced with the proposition that Carl should be up for a Scope Hawk award, considering the record of his generation, and his position within the airline. Maybe it's because he was giving us an advance preview of his acceptance speech, with the "I'm just doing what the old guys tought me in the 70's" (but never actually applied) routine. It just struck me as weird.

If you had told me a junior DC-9 Captain that's moving all over creation to avoid the right seat was concerned about RJ's, and HE was a Scope Hawk, that would have seen logical, and I wouldn't have balked.

Have a nice evening.
