Sorry to offend anyone. The integrity of the process is built on the integrity of the data. This is particularly true since NWA is arguing for a slotted system where mistakes in their data only benefit NWA.
I do not know why NWA showed up with bad data and why Delta was able to determine it was bad data. It would just seem that NWA would have better intel than anyone else. It is not a characterization of anyone, we don't know why they screwed up, but we know who it benefits.
Be offended if you want, but considering the effect that even one bad entry on a slotted, or dynamic list, has on the other 7,000 pilots who are not slotted, it is a big deal.
Worse, I think Bloch is buying off on a form of a slotted system. That seems to be what he indicated with several of his statements.
