Data doesn't become information or fact unless it is put in context. If you choose/control the context, you control the information. The data itself is meaningless unless used in the proper context...proper.
Example: all the back and forth on CDOs. One guy says nobody sleeps. One guy says he sleeps. Therefore, the nobody sleeps is invalid. If an alcoholic is in charge of making rules about drinking before flight, would his perspective be the same as a teatotaler?
Form 4 data is data out of correct context.
This may be one of the most relevant posts I've seen regarding the DALPA Flight Loss Pay Crew and company propagandists that come here including SF. There is a boatload of data. They access and extract it and likely have guys at the office help put together an argument (often to lower expectations) and selectively apply it. They try to present it boldly as a universal fact while sniggering under their breath because they know it could be flipped 180 degrees from what they are saying if they used the "other data" and interpretation that was selectively left out.
For the record, I think FPL should be banned for anyone to be posting on message boards UNLESS they state their name and position with ALPA and are willing to show their time card. Hiding behind "these are just my own opinions" while getting paid is pure nonsense and a waste of dues money that should be used to campaign for restoration.
