Seriously buy or if you hard up borrow the book. Who knows, if might open your eyes, alternativly just hang out taking cheap shots. My preference is for you to continue the cheap shots, it makes it so much easier to expose exactly what goes on in the industry and the mentality behind it.
You must be quite the author.

Just my quick analysis of not buying into this too hard.

There is such a thing as a Duty of Loyalty for corporate directors and fiduciaries. It’s a term of art. For employees, no such duty exists. You can hold it as a personal belief and let it guide you, but it is not an actionable legal theory or defense.

Intelligent people adapt and change based on facts and evidence. You cannot hold someone to their initial opinion as if now they are disingenuous because they changed their mind. That’s black and white thinking.

As always, there are three sides to every story, side a, side b and the truth. DAL handled this poorly, there is no denying that point. However, chatting with a handful of people who have flown with this individual may be illuminating conversation.

I'm not an airline pilot but as I understand it some airlines allow their pilots to refuse to be scheduled with pilots they don't get along with. If a pilot works up a list of people that refuse to fly with them does the airline take notice and investigate what's going on?

It would appear to be a sizable majority here who wish to prove the above quote true.

I would lay a sizable wager that the 'fools' on this thread have neither seen or read the documents in the case.
That is not an Abraham Lincoln quote. It is kind of silly to incorrectly attribute a quote and then accuse people of not doing their due diligence.

”The deepest irony of this whole “I’m a Republican so I only respect doctors who are medical doctors,” thing is that 300,000 Americans are dead because Republicans didn’t respect medical doctors.”
I wish I could buy you a New Years bourbon.

Spot on.

Didn't all you guys and gals have to go through some type of psych evaluation when you interviewed at delta? I thought I heard something about a straight chair or a rocker. Company psychiatrist wasn’t it? What ever happened to that guy?

All I can say is WOW.
