As in this famous painting, what you see depends on your perspective:

Some see death. Some see beauty. Some see optimism. Some see pessimism.

It's all conjecture at this point, but there are multiple and disparate supporting rumors. A leaked email; emphatic enthusiastic advice from Emerald Coast (wherein I have met/spoken with a couple of their prime movers; very sharp guys who seem to have an inside scoop on most facets of United's pulse)(and are the near-unanimous choice for United interview prep), and now, two supporting Union emails. A few things happening globally in the industry and Wall Street that might make these news bits supporting actors.....

You can't **** in a guy's cornflakes under the circumstances for being an optimistic pup.

And equally, you can't tell a guy he's constipated (extrapolate that) because he's seen it all before and thinks it's just airy persiflage.

Who knows?

Hopefully, somebody at Willis.

And hopefully, we'll know by the end of the month.

Me? It's like a Lotto ticket....probably just a waste of $5 bucks....but then again, this might be the lucky ticket...

Keep the discussions civil here, and not personal.
