Agreed. That is all water over the dam. Time to focus on issues in front of us, and not rehash ones that are behind us.
Carl;
The DRT may or may not get along. Their job is to look at the issues and given the nature of their position, it is OK to disagree. It is part of the process.
Like I have said, have a little faith in the process. It has already produced results. Yep, probably not quick enough for many, but in reality the interface we use for our schedules is of lower priority than many of the issues this airline is facing.
I believe I said it over 15K posts ago when we were snipping about something else, but the approach one uses in regard to an issue generally has direct effect on the outcome. Do not put someone on the immediate defensive and you may get somewhere. Coming in with grenades shows the real intent and forces the other side to retort in kind.
