No. People who reply to a pertinent comment with TL;DR, are showing THEIR pathology. If you don’t have the time or interest to read something, there is no chance you can give a meaningful reply to it. Nor should you expect people to take your comment seriously when you are posting on something you claim to have not even read.

There is an ignore function if you desire to use it. I’ve blocked five people myself who I thought contributed more to noise than to signal. It works fairly well IMHO. That would remove any temptation to read any of my postings without even the necessity to post TL;DR.

We all have other resources that are far better than this site when it comes actually getting useful information about our jobs. I just wish you'd change it up a little. I don't even necessarily disagree with anything you say, but you have close to 8,000 posts and as far as I can tell it's all spread across maybe four different talking points.

From: Whale FO
I have nothing whatever against AA, and don’t even think their management did anything wrong. But the cards fell the wrong way with a number of factors beyond their control including the timing of their fleet renewal, NEO and MAX development, COVID, the rebound of flying, the shortage of regional CAs and upgrade eligible FOs, inflation, and a likely coming recession. They are too big to fail, but they would not be my choice of the best legacy to be a junior FO in for the next several years.
It won't matter to an average pilot there, but it does not dilute the point you are making - AA is financially an absolute clusterf*ck.

You are more optimistic than others there. They hyperleveraged the airline while cutting down the product, assuming people will pay for convenience over service. That didn't happen, and that is why they are 12 Billion less valuable (based on simple shareholders equity) than the next Legacy carrier, and they need over a decade of "best year ever" profits before they are even solvent.

Recruiting doesn't care?
I asked recruiting to change my flight. Its on AA and there are plenty of seats on the later flight - finally three days later "We are unable to change your flights, sorry. See you at the interview." My introduction to the company thus far has been sub-par. This the norm?
