This forum is full of lots of hot air and entertaining speculation. You act as if you're the only one grounded in reality. I agree that we are way premature in discussing a possible SLI, but again, thats what we do on APC. Your slightly condescending tone is a downer! Oh and I don't think your revenue and cash numbers are accurate. Your butts got saved? Again, are you suggesting that both airlines were going out of business without the merger?? And that stark reality should temper pur discussions about another possible SLI?? Are you serious?
Frats,
I think he's saying that we're both a lot better off merged than stand-alone, and I think he's right. It's just that he couldn't resist saying it in a manner that offends the intelligence of everyone that reads his posts. The people that agree with him want no part of it, and the people that don't agree with him go ballistic.
It's a fascinating debating tactic: ****
everyone off, take
everyone on. I guess needs to feel his intellect soaring above the infantile thought process of us poor fools. We're lucky he suffers us just enough to guide us to the truth, even if we're obviously incapable of grasping it.
