"Brilliant."
Anger is a poor strategy, and when someone says, "I don't have time to..." it is a clear indicator that he has no points to back up his argument.
TSquare... Again, we chose to disregard our "expert advice" due to the fact that there was a pretty obvious conflict of interest with their Yes recommendation:
- They got a bigger payout with a Yes vote
- They HAD to recommend the least risk option (a Yes vote) for their own best interests and job security
- THEY were not the ones stuck with up to a 10 year C-scale contract that represented the dregs of the industry
- They absolutely refused to discuss, and had NO ANSWER to, what would happen with a No vote. Red herring anyone?
Those are but some of the reasons.
Last but not least: Bernie Madoff was a so called financial "expert." I'm not lumping Lazard in with him, but you get the point: just because we have experts does not necessarily mean they recommend the best thing for us.
WE, the Pilots of AA, chose to go through the narrow door - the one which represents the bloodiest fight. And we didn't choose it based on emotion - we chose based on fighting for our careers.
