To comment on something that you actually know nothing of, in its origins, is patently absurd. Your comment basically stated that we're all just "blind sheep" (not sure where that metaphor came from, although it clearly implies that we can't find subsistence without assistance, which almost defines being a sheep - even a seeing one) if we have read the testimony and agree with LAX's version. Told by someone that admittedly didn't read the testimony. Um.... what?

The comment was directed at one thanking LAX for his summary since they had not read the testimony. As for the analysis, have fun raising your BP at this process. It amounts to nothing.
I've had numerous friends (who need hobbies) express their firm conviction that the UAL side has sucked just as much as you think the CAL has. In the end, I fully expect it to fall towards the middle with a tilt towards the UAL side. The retirements will be there to make it smoother, but given the surly nature of this profession acrimony certainly lies ahead. I also to expect to hear the occasional asinine comment about this 'acquisition' saving my career for the next 25 years even if the list goes the UAL way.
Still think this sums up the banter on APC perfectly:
