Don't confuse reporting with action. A lot of ink gets spilled over a lot of things. Very few read it, and only a small fraction care. None of it is likely to translate into anything meaningful to anyone.
Yes, we're talking about it. But that's about it. Nobody else is, because nobody cares outside of those directly involved.
I give the Alaska pilots a hard time because they're fond of their orange lanyards. The pilots are convinced that management hates the orange lanyards, as if that will spur them to action. Big deal. It's a meaningless gesture that ultimately changes nothing. Management, for their part, does seem annoyed by them, and I think they're idiots, too, because it's a meaningless gesture.
