Yeah, all those yeas of stagnation and multiple BK's and mergers were so wonderful.... Biggly hugely wonderful...
I sincerely hope that the youngun's never know what we had.
For those complaining about ACD vs. MCD...
First...What other decent airline has MCD?
Second... ACD was an improvement.
Third... It is possible to have too much of a good thing
6:00 MCD would be great for some, no advantage over ACD for the vast middle, and hurt as many as it helped on the other end.
Unintended comsequences brought on by myopia and sloganeering is an actual thing. So is *****ing for the sake of *****ing.
New guys... This is a great gig. Having a half-full glass makes it even greater.

True but for us that trip would pay 10:30
where as for them it pays 6.
Our networks are so different it’s really hard to compare. They do so much less block than we do that a true min day is huge.
