Once again, you don't get it. If you actually read my posts, you would understand. I've never said that the simple answer is what's needed, I've said that people who come up with complex explanations as to why simple things cannot be done are the folks that you can properly label as BS'ing. See the difference ACL? Explanations...not answers.

We need professional negotiators because line pilots who attend ALPA negotiating seminars are wrong to put up against management's professional negotiators. I would think that would be self-evident even to you. With regard to your confusion about me referring to complex answers being BS, well, if you can read and remember what I just wrote above, then maybe you won't have to ask the silly question: "Which is it."

How you can conflate the issue of professional negotiators and the value of a complex answer is beyond me. Sometimes your lack of attention to detail is shocking.
