"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln

I will openly appologize for bringing this to a public forum. In the heat of the moment I wrote the initial post I was at the other gate trying to list. I was a annoyed at the situation and I was looking for an outlet to vent. When I hit post it was not soon afterwards I even posted that I sounded like a horse's ass. Anything that happened afterwords is just what happens when people argue on the internet. My opinion is that this could have been handled differently on every end but I only have the option to handle myself.

Enough, enough! Most of us got it. It's all ok, lets's move on...

That's right - MOVE ON!

Any post after mine about this will be deleted.

Lots of other tools out there to discuss; this one is like that dead horse.

My butt has been saved by folks giving up the jump on their own metal so that I, an offline jumper, could make it to work (SWA multiple times and AA once). Very nice of them, and I'll never forget and pay it forward at every opportunity.

But nobody is obligated to do that, and who's to say that somebody going to work is more important that another pilot's personal business? Where do you draw the line? Your own wedding? Brother's wedding? Best friend's wedding? Job interview? How about commuting to military reserve duty?

Don't think you have an entitlement to dictate other people's priorities, assume the published priority, and be pleasantly surprised if somebody does you a solid.

Which makes me question why you post at all?

Hang on there... We all need to discuss important airline issues. Sometimes the discussion may become heated. However these discussions usually lead to some sort of resolution. Like other subjects discussed on APC, this too will also fade into cyberspace.

So be patient, sit back relax, and have a cognac and a breadstick:)

Is it safe to post in this thread yet?

Only if you're reporting a new TOTD, or you're self reporting as the TOTD.
Clear?
