Moak said it at the C44 meeting where some of the 07 hires here presented and passed the resolution calling for the study of recapturing 76 seat flying (which Moak & Co thereafter ignored). He actually said it before the resolution was presented, but he knew it was on the agenda and threw that comment in as part of a sort of "state of the union" presentation that was basically crowing about how much smarter DALPA was than those dummies at UAL, CAL, and AA.
