I'm replying to your replying to his replying to nicholasblonde's replying to....what was the question again???

Haha... not sure. That's what happens when people don't read the whole thread, things are taken out of context. Here? NEVER!

Ya I think yr right...I guess I didnt read the whole thing...
Im sure I was half sleeping when I responded.

btw...I think a lot of people on here overanalyze a lot of things and get caught up in wording (one of the reasons e-mail, text, and forum communication will never be as effective at expressing thoughts as face-to-face or telephone conversations).

Maybe instead of saying "XXX lost a route to XXX" I should say "mainline reallocated a route from XXX to XXX because XXX operates a bigger more efficient aircraft." This way I can avoid confusing people who read way too far into things and somehow think that saying the word "lose" implies that we "owned" a route. I never once meant to imply that 9E "owned" those routes...I was trying to say we "lost" those routes to Mesaba because mainline (who owns the routes) "gave" them to Mesaba because they operate a bigger a/c. Sorry if people take offense at someone stating benign and factual information.

I never said anything against XJ. I ride you to work sometimes and you are a great pilot group and I have nothing but respect for you.

How long have you been at XJ sigep_nm?

that's the understatement of the year!!
