"We cancelled the order. This one is different."

"Ok.... sure."
They were absolutely convinced the TA went down on social media misinformation and if they had more time it would have passed. Couldn't grasp when I told him were it to go out to a vote again today it would probably be voted down by an even wider margin.
You can not argue logically with a sycophant like that - it is pretty sad. I just don't know why they don't admit that they made a mistake.
I would respect a rep a lot more if he would say "We did not think the company would go ahead with the 190s - we believed them - we were wrong."
This BS that they cancelled the order and this was a different order is somewhere between preposterous and pathetic. Does anyone at Delta fly or get paid by "aircraft orders?" Who GAS if they cancel order A and then go out and buy the same aircraft with order B?
Wow they sure showed us! I am really torn up that the 190s are coming via order B as I had my heart set on order A.

Do they actually think there is one line pilot out of the 13,000+ DAL Pilots that would actually buy that crap?
