I showed your post to few of my airline pilot friends and they all agree you are a poser.
I don't understand what this connection is your keep trying to make between my views on the price of a barrel of oil and whether or not I'm an airline industry veteran. I have flown and talked with other airline pilots for decades who had all kinds of political and economic opinions from very liberal to very conservative, from tri-lateral commission believers to environmental activists, from supply-side Reaganonomics believers to gold bugs, and I've never seen any belief system or set of characteristics that defines an airline pilot. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Which brings me to you. Are you an airline pilot? Tell the truth...JP

Should be obvious I am. Not going to continue this silly debate with you. Why don't give it a rest and enjoy your retirement as you claim to be, and stop pestering this forum with useless banters. You sound like someone who does not like to chill, for someone who supposedly is retired.

Let's get back to the original issue and discuss how the oil price will affect the airline industry.

You seek to muzzle me sir, and I will not have it. Are you not familiar with Freedom of Speech as put forth in The First Amendment of The Bill of Rights?

Many Americans have died protecting such freedoms, and I will not allow you to indulge in such intolerance!

JP, this may reveal a little bit about you. The above sentence's verb was "consider."

Yes, and I simply stated that I had already had mine. OH! I see...Did you mean that he and I should share a table with our milk and cookies?

Here's food for thought.

Gold-Plated Exit For Exxon CEO




By Steven Mufson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, April 13, 2006; Page D03


Exxon Mobil Corp.'s outgoing chief executive, Lee Raymond, received $48.5 million in salary, bonus, incentive payments and stock awards last year and retired Jan. 14 qualifying for a pension with a lump-sum value of $98.4 million, according to the company's latest proxy statement.
By the end of 2005, Raymond had accumulated $183.1 million worth of Exxon Mobil stock and had options worth $69 million to buy additional company shares. The company also covered his expenses for items including club memberships and private use of corporate jets.
