Why does it sound like a "bad thing" when he says "flying freight?" And isn't FedEx a major airline?

Man we all just have battered wife syndrome here and are too ignorant to realize it. Apparently, he knows the history here better than those on the MEC/NC who lived it....They knew better at United...I can see how well it worked.

Like I said, YGTBSM?
Thanks for your service...(seriously..because I wasn't and I appreciate what you did for me and my family). But I didn't know you were there alone.

Easy to take quotes out of context....not really fair, but these stuck out at me when you were ranting. You come off as being "smarter than the rest of us". Kind of like when my conceited father was checking into an expensive retirement community trying to impress all those around him with his lifelong exploits. I reminded him that he was surrounding himself with plenty of experienced successful people, each with their own stories and that they may not need to be educated by his "unique" knowledge base. Sometimes your "unique" experience is not so unique and comes across as presumptive and stating the obvious.
