Has had 70yr old chief pilots get on video with HR claiming how great it was to have a gender neutral dress code while historically having one of the strictest psych evaluators in the industry.

One rumor was a new hire almost got fired because “somebody” thought the new hire presented himself as an alphabet member, and when invited to an alphabet party, that new hire politely declined.

So when guys like Pineapple say it’s all fake, I tend to disagree. I’d like to be able to quote “The Hangover” once in a while without fear of retribution.
You poor thing. I can't imagine living with that kind of oppression.

Not to mention your full set, mint collection of Hustler. Trolling without purpose is merely static. You understand that well too I presume?

WTF are you talking about Chevron, Exxon, BP, Shell are majors, and are vertically integrated owning production.

Valero is the largest independent refinery and Delta has a boutique refinery not worth mentioning in the oil business.

You’re trying to fear monger with what refiners are “paying” for oil and the largest players own their own wells.

Its just like your airline owning the seat you DH own and you’re quoting how much someone else pay for it for their DH.
Fear monger? It's easily verifiable. Yes the largest players own their own wells but they still buy barrels on the market. That still isn't even considering the hit everyone is taking to reserves.

show me where oil is being bought for $150 or more by any company in the US… I tend not to care what Europe and Africa are paying when the energy policies in Germany and other small countries has been called out for years. 3 yrs ago European Countries were paying astronomical prices for energy.

This video at 2:30 always makes me smile

An even better video is the German Chancellor laughing when told his energy prices were going to skyrocket.

You don’t understand oil. The index set the price per gallon for demand.

Exxon can own an oil well and have a production cost of <$30 a barrel. They’re not just gonna sell gas for .50 cents a gallon when the index’s set the going rate.

It’s works the other way too, a boutique refinery pays $150 a barrel, they can’t just charge $8 bucks a gallon because they paid for a supply chain disruption.

The oil “majors” still have supper cheap production cost and can’t just shutdown production to raise the prices to $8, when it kills demand.

Tons of major refinery’s buy open market oil, it’s usually distressed shipments from a maintenance problem at the planned refinery.

The oil index’s speculate global demand with supply, they don’t speculate who will pay above sticker price due to a supply chain problem.

it’s ok to be upset your company got bought because of the policies you and your believers championed for 2+ years. I’m sure the State of Hawaii’s increasing taxes on tourists and climate initiatives will help.

With any luck our new owner will move its HQ to a more business friendly State. WA is ranked #45..that should help with the Economic Impact of Iran
