Okay, good point on the semantics of what I wrote. Perhaps I should have phrased the above slightly differently. I reminded him of the reality of the situation and asked him to reconcile it with his statement about the "greatest contract in airline history." Since he blew off my email, I'm assuming he doesn't have a good answer and that his definition of "greatest contract in airline history" somehow doesn't include buying power from our compensation that at least equals what we had throughout most of the 1980's, 1990's, and early 2000's.
The way I'm looking at it, you're asking him to play a game in which you frame the rules, and he's not playing. I don't know if he's blowing you off because he knows you, and knows an e-mail from you is just the opening move in a verbal chess-match. Or perhaps he doesn't know you, but saw the trap anyway, and figured he couldn't possibly answer in a way that would satisfy you, and there was a good chance his words would be on this forum the second he hit "send".
Overall, I don't want MD making off-the-cuff written comments that don't represent the MEC, just to make you happy. I'd like to think he's working very hard on our behalf. In a perfect world, he would have read your e-mail in two minutes, spent another minute thinking about it, and moved on to something else. Or, maybe, for a perfect score, he could have sent you a reply saying this was probably best suited for your reps, and copied them, and let them play a round or two.
I'm not implying any contempt in my reply, mind you. I'm not saying you don't deserve answers, I'm saying these kinds of conversations are for you and your reps to have. They owe you answers, but not necessarily in writing.

That's right removing our troops from Iraq made a bunch of Muslims form into a group and they became extreme.
So should we have keept our troops in Iraq for 2 more years maybe 5 or how about 50?
I wonder if they would hate us so much if we never invaded Iraq?
