The USAPA ad in the USA Today was unfortunate, and I don't believe we should be airing our dirty laundry to the flying public.....with that said it still doesn't change the fact that no matter how many press releases Tempe generates to the contrary disputing it - those events happened and that is frightening.
While I agree with much of what you have said, I would like to suggest that the recent ad was targeted to whomever we are to be "sold" to. It was a "nice company you got there, it would be a shame if anything happened to it" kind of statement. It said that maybe the parties need to re-value the deal.
IMHO, it was a plus/plus if there is no deal. It reiterated that US is an extremely safe operation, tolerated for now. My neighbors, who do not even fly US, have already chimed in that they would sooner fly US because they trust a pilot making a positive statement, knowing the lying perfidy of present day corporations. Especially LCC.
