Not trying to trash anyone just repeating the message I heard. Probably not very reliable but I did hear it. I'm sure there is a lot of miss information out there.

I agree it's a absolutely ridiculous rumor, which is why I posted this below.

Use some common sense people. JABDIP, you're smarter then that, don't bite on that flamebait.

Do you think you have any responsibility to try to put some relevance to any rumor you hear, or do you just parrot what is told to you with no filter? Don't you think it is a little irresponsible to be trashing someone in public based on pure baloney? These are real people you are talking about here.

Point made and point taken.

BS. You wouldn't bother repeating it, if you weren't trying to trash someone; especially since you admit the rumor is probably not very reliable.

I guess he can not only hypnotize the entire MEC into carrying out his own personal agenda, but his powers reach to the corporate BOD as well. Pretty impressive guy. Can he leap tall buildings in a single bound too?

let me interrupt for just one second. On behalf of my a friend of mine who just sent me a text "airport appreciation tour" is not funny. Never was. Gets old super fast, like after the first time. Especially when everyone uses it.

I've done my part. Continue on.

Moak's a big boy. He can handle the abuse.
Plus he's a politician. He signed up for the abuse.

Having said that, the idea that he doesn't want more 747s on the property might be the all-time champion of goofy rumors.

Also,

Who wouldn't want more high paying wide bodies - more A/C and upward movement - personally, just trying to get into the 100 post area myself

Well, that's sort of why I threw it out there, it seemed pretty goofy to me as well but intended no harm. Figured that someone out there would clarify things as they have done.

I don't know much about Lee, what he flies, or what motivates him. But, for every 777 or 747 on the property that's a bunch of 767-400, A-330, and 7er pilots that move up and or out.

Most of the list is positively affected. I say let's bring on all the 777's and -400's we can and I'm sure that the people in the know want the same thing.
