I know who sailingfun is. My guess is that he has a highly placed source(s). His intel is very accurate. It is one of the interesting things that sets us apart from other companies--- management's willingness to pass down future plans to the pilots. I am grateful for that.

Contrary to unpopular belief; being fed info from the top doesn't make you any smarter than the rest of us, it just makes you well informed. I highly value the raw info SF presents, and I also value his knowledge of black and white contractual questions, but when he forms/sells an opinion I feel like his proximity to management flaws his reasoning.
