You didn't even almost contradict anything I said other than "liar liar pants on fire". You simply stated your opinion of what you think is going to happen.

It's seriously scary we have people who talk the way you do in our cockpits. Your a grown man for God's sake. You married? Kids? Would you want your kids talking the way you do? It's downright embarrassing man. No one is lying here, both sides are being stubborn. I hope my kids never speak the way you do ANY situation. We are supposed to be adults here. Sure you are probably speaking to a lot of kids who are immature on here...but we both know you're very much an adult Tony, start acting like it and take the high road. You're making us all look bad.

Your MEC has been given something to play ball with...They don't want to play ball...

We have nice, colorful Powerpoint presentations courtesy of McKnight...I want to see the ones your MEC made.
Why should we move off what is widely regarded as the best PBS system in the industry for an unproven never used PBS that you guys can't even get going for your reserve pilots.

We're in no hurry, so we will just stick with our popular PBS system and watch you guys wrestle with SmartPref....

If we are pushing for SmartPerf or nothing then we are shooting ourselves in the foot.
Better talk to McPickle about that...He has been shooting you guys in the foot for over a year now with little PBS experiment...

You guys are starting to come around on PBS, now if you could just quit playing with that Smartpref....

Which is exactly what our MEC said would happen, but you guys listened to McPickle instead....
