But there are a significant number of pilots here who are completely drunk on Widget-Aid. We've got to start using some critical thinking skills--not just swallowing the party line.

Did you read the memo in question? I'm not trying to be negative. I'm trying to analyze it like a shareholder/industry analyst (and the lawyer who wrote it) would.

So, "brah," I take it that you thought that memo said they'd be placing a widebody order in 2013? Enjoy the view with those Widget colored glasses on.

It's ironic--I guarantee the execs possess absolutely none of the "Widget Punch" sentimentality they're counting on us to believe in. That's why they enjoy huge bonuses--and why we're just tickled pink when we manage to abscond with a few crumbs from their table.


I'm curious, were you this way towards NWA also or did they hang the moon for you?

It is wise to listen up sometimes. ALthough his approach may be confrontational to some; he brings up a few valid points.

The widget is being run by NWA minded execs. They do not care for you or me. This is business.

With this quote, " “There's no question,” commented Harteveldt on the most disruptive labor dispute he’s seen in the industry in 23 years, “the [American] pilots are engaging in business sabotage." I'd think the APA might have a case for libel. ( Libel is the defamation of an individual's or an entity's character which is published in a written medium, such as a newspaper.)

And yes, it was a permanent ban that was dropped on him. :(

It is ironic that he was banned, but yet IB has no problems with some of the advertisements that show up.:rolleyes:

There's no money in advertisements.

APA has already written Faux News over previous misrepresentations. Among other things they made up Faux quoted the "flyers rights" lady...she said she never even interviewed over the issue if I remember correctly.

Makes it kind of hard to believe them on stuff I don't know anything about when they make stuff up on things I do know about.

Isn't the FAA doing an intense oversight? If there was something actionable wouldn't it have happened already?:rolleyes:

Can't wait for Fox News' coverage on foreign ownership :rolleyes:

What happened to just reporting the facts, not opinion?
