I’ve always been curious about the motivation of people who worry overmuch about other posters motivation. I just don’t get that.

I’m not attempting to put anyone down, but when somebody says debt is not a problem because few of the bond issuances mature any time soon - either forgetting or being unaware of debt service interest expense that will probably hit $2 Billion this year - I don’t think it’s somehow out of line to correct them. And while I’m no less opinionated than anyone else, I try to balance that with facts and figures to back up that opinion.

And everybody has an opinion. Heck, Warren Buffet basically wrote off the whole damn industry a year ago. And none of US are in control of what happens in any event, the government, the fates, and our managements are, we are pax along for the ride.

So I’m sorry if any of my opinions upset anyone and feel free to just block me if you find them frightening or annoying - I mean that sincerely, I don’t post with the purpose of annoying anyone - but the facts (and opinions) are what they are and until flying picks up enough and hiring picks up enough that I’m not sitting reserve I’ve got a lot of time on my hands and APC is as good a distraction as any...
