I don't argue that it wasn't made more attractive for a merger by reducing costs. I'm saying it happened through loss of scope. That is what lies ahead if we cave on scope again.

I hope I am wrong.

Tilton called it "Right Sizing". He could just as easily said "Downsizing, Outsourcing, Reducing" I'm not arguing semantics, just saying how you got there was the loss of scope.

Smisek, as I believe you are now painfully aware, would have said anything to get this merger to happen. Not for the good of either company or it's employees, solely to feed his ego and bank account. I don't believe ANYTHING that comes out of his mouth now, and that applies to all his previous statements as well.

Let's hope our MEC's find the wisdom to do the right thing ( Whatever you think that is ) and we can move closer to paying Smisek off and hopefully find someone with VISION that wants to run a real airline.
