You're guessing wrong, again, and I'm tired of your attacks on the messenger when there is an idea presented that doesn't fit your plan. I have a different viewpoint on LBP than you, but that's not what this is about.
This is about
you presenting the opinion that a hypothetical B744 closure would be an argument for a LBP system. It took about a half an hour of thinking it through to realize you've actually uncovered a major
flaw in the LBP argument. Then after a strange sort of "debate" where you've tried the virtual equivalent of yelling, pouting, walking out, and walking back in, but never once rationally discussed any theory that isn't your own.
Having had a chance to think it over a couple of hours, it's becoming very apparent that there is a significant problem in LBP, in that it sets up an airline to downsize conveniently. If there is an flaw in my logic, by all means, explain it. I've laid out what I think is a pretty rational case WRT displacements and furloughs. You haven't addressed it. You asked a question, I answered it, and now you're retrenching instead in this weak "inner-circle" b.s.
Finally, spare me the sanctimonious crap about being open-minded. I've tried to at least entertain the idea you presented, and I've tried to present a rationale for my thinking, two things you can't be bothered with. Like you, I am only trying to better our situation. I seem to remember bringing up the concept of a NSL, an idea which you poo-poohed out of hand, without presenting much of a rationale. I may not win any awards for open-mindedness, but I don't think you should create a shrine for your ward just yet.
I surely made a mistake when I congratulated you for finding a way to make the company scaleable and shrinkeable, so I apologize for it. Maybe that's what got your panties all tangled up, and fried the hemisphere that handles rational thought. I
know you're not trying to make things worse.
In closing: my logic is my own. It isn't tied to any agenda, or any group. If you have any rational thoughts that refute mine, be my guest.
