You're actually getting my hopes up. That's just mean man. MEAN!!!

Fire the damn thieves or just turn them into the local police! I hear that is one of the best hotels in the system right now.

You couldn't prove it...but you also couldn't disprove it. Until now, I guess.

Growth widebodies or replacement widebodies?

Cause there's a pretty big difference.

If they are growth, that's a lot of metal to be dedicated to just SEA flying, and would make us even more desperately hyper dependant on AS feed, cause even more AS growth lowering their unit costs and increasing their ability to offer cheap feed to our enemies and increase AA/EK profits which would then turn around and bite out SEA marketshare anyway directly or indirectly.

Can't they figure out which rooms had the missing items and then trace it to the crew member in that room?
