As opposed to being merely a creep like you!
What the Newsletter does is deliver the official Corporate Line. That's the purpose of a newsletter. I happen to know several of the writers of the publication and they are fine people. Clearly Mr Kirby was NOT fired and right now there is no credible evidence that supports his termination. Trust me I've looked.
I'm also uncomfortable with the tenor of this thread and perhaps I played a part in that.
Sadly what this boils down to is this,
"Does Doug Parker have any credibility to the reader? Is he truthful? Honest? Trustworthy?" Different readers have different answers to those questions. To me personally the answers to the above questions are a resounding "NO!" for multiple reasons, same with Kirby. I've been consistent in this view since the Res Migration.
The above two gentlemen have
NO CREDIBILITY with me personally. So when I read an explanation/statement from Parker ir Kirby, I work backwards from the assumption that they're lying. I apply the very simple legal standard of "False in one, False in all" in evaluating the veracity of the statements. I believe that Parker and Kirby have failed to be truthful to the employees and customers on numerous occasions. So I choose not to believe them now.
I remain unconvinced that we know the whole truth. I'm also pretty convinced that the incident was not nearly as bad as the information I received but NOT as inconsequential as is made out in the public statement.
