How about telling us a little about yourself so we can judge for ourselves? I appreciate the flow of information from both camps. What I don't appreciate is people trying to shut down one point of view, especially those that don't work here.
I have not trashed anyone. My recommendation to put Bender and Professor on "ignore" is quite reasonable from my point of view. Professor for all the rational Carl has gone to the (successful) effort of demonstrating why he adds no value to the discussion, and Bender because someone who does not understand a simple thing like the rationals/purpose of a stock buyback is not someone who can be reasonable thought to be able to understand a complicated TA.
As for my history, I don't feel that is relevant to this thread. I'm certainly not going to derail the thread to satisfy your opinion. As for my not being a DAL pilot, that is for you...the accuser...to prove. Not me to prove otherwise. Meantime, yeah, it makes so much sense for me to be investing so much unpaid time to engage in these discussions if you're right, doesn't it??
Lastly, I'll say it again. Carl isn't "Anti-ALPA, anti-DALPA, anti-current union" per se. If ALPA worked the way it is supposed to work, and specifically it's mgmt/representation, he would be 100% for it. He'll tell you that, I'm sure. The fact that you say "I don't care" simply shows you really don't know what Carl is for or against. So no, you don't get to put words in his mouth, anymore than you do mine or anyone else's.
