Dude, We all get it... stop the love fest already.

No love fest. I agree his delivery could use a lot of fine tuning.

I guess you weren't around in 2003 and 2005 when he was one of the biggest concessionist cheerleaders at United...

Not only a concessionist, he was a huge divider in that he pushed for selling out the bottom of the list. Not on property? Not his and his cohorts' concern.

I find it humorous how a few posters here have come out to defend one of the most immature, insulting, divisive posters on the other forum by insulting everyone on this forum with a different opinion of him. Likely the usual suspects from the other forum. I laugh hysterically that any of these guys think of themselves as unionists when they spew so much divisive venom in their posts.

OK I'll chip in.

I flew with him. I found him to be a highly engaged and pleasant Captain. When defending a pilot in the flight office, he's a pit bull and the first guy I'd want at my elbow if I were in their crosshairs.

He's smarter than most of the guys whose posts he eviscerates. Or, perhaps if not smarter, he certainly knows more of the BS that determines how things get done during the sausage making that is company/union business. As he frequently says, he uses this advantage when posting. His delivery is often abrupt and sometimes caustic. The combination is seen as rude and abusive, particularly by those whose posts he's "correcting".

As are many on the other forum, he's overtly political. That offends many, but particularly those whose views are in direct opposition. Their responses to him are every bit as vitriolic as his, yet no one comes on this forum and complains about them.

And yet here we are on an anonymous forum hurling invective about a guy who's not even here to defend himself. What does that say to you?

Lame.

I think what we are trying to say is that he is an a-hole. But he's our a-hole so get over it.

the love fest continues... what are you all getting him for valentines day? that way he won't get the same gift.

To use a current term.....

Nice alternative facts. :(

Really? I guess you weren't paying attention during the aforementioned time frame..

As to OldMako, your same point could be made about his bloviating about people that aren't even members of the other forum....

Paid plenty of attention.

Mansfield and such who brought us Whiteford were the architects of the 2003 bankruptcy contracts.
