I wasn't the one making the stink or the excuses about lanyards.

I was just commenting that in sounds similiar to other lame excuses people make for not doing or doing certain things.

I'm surprised you even responded to the whole lanyard thing in the first place.

For the record, my pre-teen is far from a juvenile delinquent...he's just an 11 year old kid doing his best to grow up with a demanding Dad.

My liquid assets are more than sufficient so that I never had to pick up extra during negotiations. I realized it was good business to support the folks I asked to negotiate on my behalf....just like it is good business not to fly disputed pairings voluntarily.

I wear my lanyard because It's harder to lose my ID using it, and a while ago I was asked to by the folks that work on my behalf. I'm not ashamed to be part of the organization.

That's it.
