Some people would not agree with others, only based on blind ideology. They don't care if the "populist" is right. He is a left winger, so he must be wrong, no matter what he says.

It would have been very interesting to see how different the pilot reaction to that letter would have been if the author's name had not been revealed.

Or, even better, if it had been signed "H. Ross Perot".
Well said. Agreed 100%.

That is obvious! Most phony people ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Everyone walks around saying How ya likin it?

When one of these Cheese Eaters is asked what he actually likes about this crap, none of them are able to answer. They just go around repeating that garbage.

I am referring to Ramp Agents though.

A dollar invested in the company goes out into the economy.....A dollar invested in stock buy-back is removed from the economy forever.....Unfortunately, while Nader happens to be dead on this time, his approach many times has been misguided and so with most pilots they lose the message in the noise of the messenger......
