I was trying to give him a better forum. If you want to be anal, where do you propose it go? Are they a Major? Not by definition. A Regional? One that goes Coast to Coast with Airbus'? Which forum is better for them. Geez........

Don't feel bad, my former airline has been around for ten years, and it's still in the upstart.
