Same with the CA upgrade classes, since Kirby and/or Quayle participate in those as well.
I've heard pilots at other airlines say "Well I heard Kirby wants to buy us because...." and when asked he always refutes it with an explanation why. The canned response of "well if he was going to do it he wouldn't tell you" but then I guess they will tell the pilots at the other airline that he wants to acquire them lol.
I wasn’t really accusing you….
Meetings, conferences and Discussions even by Kirby or many high ups is still at the end of the day, dialogue, not official published information….I think there is a difference. Look it, I was merely thanking Mickey for actually looking up official sources rather than rely on unofficial unpublished and unrecorded dialogue however essential it may seem be. In my time at B6 at least, there were similar opportunities to engage with upper management. I can tell you that even though you are hearing directly from them………that doesn’t mean they are always telling the truth.
I ve been on this website long enough to form my own conclusions on the credibility of certain users here.
