I suspect the answer is that the author forwarded it to make a point. CTRL-C; CTRL-V.

At least that better be the answer. I doubt DALPA is stupid enough to post this on their own. Unless, of course, it's some kind of disgruntled committee member that feel they were slighted somehow.

Either way, this discussion is crap. If a guy that lives in ATL isn't happy about a payraise and dropping the commute, and can only focus on his forecast of where he would have been in a hypothetical world in ten years, then [expletive deleted] him.
