Carl why are you even concerned with the outcome of this? You will be flying the 747-400 until retirement. Most likely even in the left seat You will be commuting/dead heading to do this though as we all know where the airplanes are going.

But my question is sincere without malice: why do you create so much wake turbulence over something that really wont affect you or change your standard of living whatsoever (you're commuting to ATL unless you want to change airplanes, which I find doubtful)?
Because I want to see us succeed. People that say childish things like: "Delta has won" and "...it will never happen" are only setting themselves up for extreme disappointment if the SLI goes against what they predicted. It is this extreme disappointment due to certainty about an uncertain process that can cause people to want to burn the house down. I don't want to see that.

That's why I care.

Carl
