Good posts folks and thanks for the reasoned replies.

IMHO the black helicopter stuff are the various theories that Lee Moak is purposely engaged in the creation of an alter ego which will be merged (to the satisfaction of unity hawks like me) at the cost of something near Pinnacle book on our new Delta small jet fleet. Something like that would be the perfect 100 seat answer and I would send money for a Brass Statute in his honor. But I think my money is safe .... I think as far as this goes is cheaper, better, outsourcing in more capable airplanes.
