I give up with this guy.

I'm arguing economics, and he wants to keep pointing out the hair shirt he's wearing while making arguments that say essentially."yeah the company needs to keep doing dumb money-losing things and you should be happy to finance it...for Market Share?" Are you in management? That's where I usually hear such incompetent twisted reasoning such as this...what a goombah. Did I say PBS was bad? Re-read the post...I stated a PBS in the hands of AMR would be bad. Do you understand context? Also, I guess you LIKE the ideas of more furloughs, cause that's what PBS will do...create about another 5-10% overage at AA.

Didn't see you retract your comments about your total misconception on the 757/767 flying. This reminds me of the old management ploy of ignoring your mistakes while pointing out everyone else's...I really AM getting the feeling you're either in management..or...maybe you're a character in Dilbert?

Anyways, I applaud you going for the sympathy vote...(My life was sooooo good at my thrice-bankrupt company where the future was rosy and I was a rising star before evil ole' AA/APA/______ came knockin' and kicked me outta my rockin' chair!) Sidebar-Will someone, somewhere please be responsible and honest enough to admit they are liable for the career choices they made, the employers they chose, and the consequences that resulted?

Since to you, we AA types seem so evil, and it appears you cannot post on this website (over and over and over again) without pointing out how badly you "feel" you got screwed over by "us", do "us" a favor: Refuse the recall notice, if one ever comes your way.

No one would want you to get yer hands dirty, force you associate with folks not at your level or compromise your principles, doncha' know.

'Course then again, I'm sure you have already submitted your resignation letter.

On a positive note I can now say after this discourse I much better understand the retort in the old joke about the guy pounding his head on the brick wall who was asked "why in the world are you doing that?"

"Because it feels so good when I stop" he replied....
