Again both points live in the same world.
We can grow and also grow less than SWA.
What is so hard about that?
We continue to grow it’s a fact.
The funny thing about your rain man joke is you are rain man.
You couldn’t talk logic to the guy it was his way or nothing. Judge wapner is on judge wapner is on. I doubt rain man left any room for ideas and views other than his. Just like you EVERYONE else is wrong.
Um, no. Lots of Fake News here.
First, I agree with a lot of people. Aldonite, Bozo, CombatCraig, Cool (most of the time), many/most of the guys I fly with and others. Fake News that I only agree with myself.
Second, I will no longer allow you to attribute a point to me that I didn't make. I NEVER said or implied that we were *literally* not growing. That is a straw man and if you continue to suggest I ever took that position I will consider you to have forfeit the discussion.
Third, the position I did take before it was bastardized was that our career progression has stagnated with respect to our peers when you consider net aircraft growth/pilot retirements. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Now I made crystal clear, both implied and EXPLICIT, that stagnated was not meant to be taken as a literal Rain Man interpretation. It is meant to represent how our seniority list progression *compares* to our peers when considering net fleet growth/pilot retirements.
If you insist on taking the literal Rain Man interpretation of "stagnating career", I will once again consider you to have forfeit the discussion.
The list of our peer airlines that have slower seniority progression going forward is extremely small, I'm waffling between 0-2 names on that list. So I'll make this easy for you to actually stay on point, list the airlines that you think have slower seniority list progression right now considering net aircraft growth/pilot retirements and then we can continue to evaluate your counter assertion that relative to our peers we are not stagnating. It's a REALLY short list to consider, so this shouldn't be too hard for you.
Anything beyond that is an attempt by you to deflect from MY point and attribute a sentiment or point to me that I didn't make.
