Another thing that is striking about your reply is that you say "some here/them" are opposite me "for sure" and that confirmation bias "works for them too" yet I have NEVER seen you comment or call one of them out on their positive confirmation bias. Yet you call me on my supposed negative confirmation bias frequently.

You're not biased right????

As for my supposed bias, you only know what I type. You do NOT know what I think or believe.

 

I’ve seen Payne, JTrain, HyperBoy post fairly straightforward and realistic assessments of where we are. I haven’t seen anyone post a crazy positive post. Everyone says, “There are things that need improving, and ALPA is well on the way to improving them.” Zero people have said that JetBlue is perfect and it’s always sunny here with nothing worth fixing.

Now I’m sure those guys exist, but they don’t post on here.

As far as knowing only what you type, that’s true. But why make things up? Just to stir the pot? I’m betting your posts are fairly reflective of your true feelings. But only you know that for sure...

My issue with you is that EVERYTHING is negative for you. It could be raining gold bars and you be complaining about the dents in your car from the weight. I have respect for people like Bozo, who is definitely not a sunny outlook guy, but is rational and is looking for the positives when they come. I’m looking for the negatives, he’s looking for the positives. That’s all you really can ask.

 

asked if confirmation bias works both ways, you said (emphasis added to the quote):

Words have meaning. They have context. Words have more meaning when grouped into sentences and taken in context than they do individually.

So if I have a reading comprehension problem you definitely have a writing problem!

Since you didn't reply to post 4599, here it is again.

 

jesus, get a room...

 

Anyone hear the rumor about wide bodies!

no really... THIS TIME, it's for real. Oh right and they're expanding MCO.

 

I wonder how many of my fellow APCr's are willing to concede publicly that Southerner is better than themselves at evaluating situational reality as he asserts?

You wanna go first Capt Cool?

(I have no beef with Cool).

 

True I just always get a kick out of those.
I guess it just seems people are focused on the unaware when the major majority of the group is engaged.
Imho those who don't understand now never will and are a lost cause.

 

And before Southerner says he didn't say it, are the rest of us not "most" people?

 

Not touching this with a ten foot pole

How about you two just agree you want a solid contract and call it a day?

 

Of course we all want a solid contract. He just wants to whine and moan until it happens, and that's fine. Some people can't help but be miserable.
