I see you have dredged up the same webboard talking points again, so we will try one more time to see if you can make an honest answer to a direct question.
If the 717's were going to come anyway, then why in the hell did management give us $1 billion 6 months early in order to get them?
Let's see if you can come up with some answer with even a shred of logic behind it. You used to say that that mainline wouldn't grow, that it was all a sham, and now that it actually is occurring, we have another bid with almost 400 positions, you have to change the story to "it would have happened anyway." How convenient for you.
Well, my hero, I may have said mainline wouldn't grow, but I am allowed to change my viewpoint based upon what actually happens. Or am I frozen in one position from two years ago? Am I allowed to change my view?
I have never changed my story that the 717s wouldn't have come. They were too good of a deal. You, on the other hand, are the one that said they wouldn't come unless we signed on the dotted line. I believe you and your cronies tied c12 to 717s when in fact they were separate events and opportunities.
Management gave us a contract partially funded by concessions to expand DCI scope to buy desireable RJs. I was not the one that ever linked 717s to the contract, that was DALPA.
I done know where web board talking points come from. My mind has it's own perceptions and views. Some people say things better than I do. Does that make them talking points. I don't write anything unless it is my perception. Nobody prompts me, I don't strategize with anyone.
I've heard you're a smart guy. It's too bad you're not a nice guy. My perception is you have done some good things. I have no doubt you have worked hard and done what you think is right. I don't know why you have to view opposing views as the enemy, but that's your cross to bear.
