Most of us know how important Scope is from the day we set foot on property. Don’t diminish our intelligence because we’ve been here “X” fewer days than you.
I don't diminish anyone's intelligence and there's a good chance you have more than me. You may also have been here longer than me, as may Trip7.
I value experience in just about every aspect of life, to include airline operations, time spent in the captain's seat, and living through numerous contract and negotiations cycles. All measurements correlate to more original, authentic and meaningful thought in my humble opinion. Without actual experience, one tends to regurgitate stuff they have heard elsewhere at risk of representing it as their own devised concoction. Those who actually devise their own thought concoctions without much experience are to be taken with a grain of salt and often miss the mark.
Had Scoop or Denny or any number of other more seasoned members posted Trip7's post I would read it repeatedly and try harder to wrap my head around their perspective. In Trip7's case, I rarely find a need to reread.
JMHO.
