You ASS/U/me... that since you aren't reading about it in the NYT that we are not talking. I don't know whether we are or aren't. I am not one in the know, and here's a flash for you... neither are you. You want inside information public, that's what your boy says he would do... right? But like our fearless hopey changey president has found out, Gitmo wasn't that easy to close. Your tactic is to throw rocks until you are satisfied. Good luck with that strategy. And "worship" is a stupid word, even for you to use. I respect his business acumen, and especially in this business. He has made me a nice chunk of change for retirement, which I appreciate very much.... but worship is hardly what I would call it. He "wins" for all the reasons you stated, but he doesn't win every battle. He also wins because a lot of his competition is not as competent as he is or as well positioned as DAL. So then to be fair, you have to make those comparisons to OUR competition. Go ahead, and give me an example of another pilot group that has exceeded us in every category... just like you just said Mr Anderson has done to his competition.
