I just think it's funny you're losing your mind. Who would've thought that one merger would make you so bat-sh it?

I have no interest in following the industry the way you do- that's where the major disconnect is between you and others. I'm not the only one who has noticed that you are losing it over the merger- I think it's apparent to everyone. In another thread somewhere E posted a picture of Carrie from homeland, and there are definite similarities in the way you act. I found it amusing that something this inconsequential to you would have you up in arms.WorldTraveler said:except my mind is highly lucid.
I think you and a whole lot of other people are absolutely livid that I could have said the night before DL's press release that they were challenging the DOJ's decision and then we woke up today to find out that is exactly what they did.
You could only wish you understood the industry as well as I do.
You are losing it now.WorldTraveler said:Too bad that WN's countdown clock for the WA just suffered a nuclear meltdown.
You caught up now?
+ one million. What an insufferable, condescending boor. I imagine that his ex-coworkers at Ma Delta thank their lucky stars that he's their EX-coworker.Kev3188 said:Ya know, it's one thing to be a condescending prick to someone like me, 700, or E. But to Sharon? Arguably the most positive person on this site? Wow.
Get over yourself A$$-wipe. You really have no clue what's about to happen. And yes you are loosing it over this merger in question. Holly $hite you are ate up over this. Be careful who you disrespect, you canbe removed by the majority, hint, hint...WorldTraveler said:yes, Sharon, that article has been posted several times before and it doesn't change that the media talking heads are just parroting the same verbiage that Gary Kelly and his minions thought they could pawn off on the American people in engaging in backroom deals to divide the US air travel market between AA/US and WN and other players, just the way WN has operated in N. Texas for decades.
The article is also way old based on DL's actions today.
Problem is that DL decided to be the bad guy who blew the whistle and said that the DOJ's settlement is illegal and amounts to reregulation of the industry. The DOJ has no legal right to designate what carriers can and cannot participate in the bidding process for AA/US assets or make any determination about whether they would be allowed to win.
Further, DL's lawsuit has the potential to reopen the Wright Amendment and all of its revisions which have all been designed to create separate airports for AA and WN but which is completely counter to law in the US.
DL just wants a couple gates to be able to use to fly from DAL and wants to be able to bid against WN and other carriers for gates at DCA.
Too bad that WN's countdown clock for the WA just suffered a nuclear meltdown.
You caught up now?
I repeat.WorldTraveler said:None of which makes a hill of beans' worth of difference that all the positivism in the world doesn't change that the settlement agreement and WN's plans to dominate Love Field as well as the slot bidding process are very much unclear and will be challenged as it high as it has to go in order to prove that the backroom dealing between AA and WN that have carved up N. Texas and which they thought could be used to carve up the divested assets is being challenged.
As nice, positive, and innocent as she may be, Sharon posted on a thread that was already well-established to be a contentious discussion started and pushed by a WN mgmt loyalist who has parroted the company line about how WN expects to be able to dominate DAL when it is far from clear that they will be able to do that at all.
But WN is not going to succeed by monopolizing the market and keeping competitors out which is exactly what they want to be able to do at Love Field.
WN will have to compete in order to win.
You might want to keep that in mind yourself.WorldTraveler said:Either way, the larger case will be decided with no respect to what goes on with this site.
SWA spent a long time and hard work getting the wright amendment changed.WorldTraveler said:wnmech,
you might want to chat with an apparent coworker of yours who started this thread and has gone between "WN wants the gates and would get them if no one else wants them" to "DL is not going to get the gates"
By all accounts, WN wants more access at DAL and talked with the DOJ in conversations that gave it a preferred route to assets from the AA divestiture process - to the exclusion of DL
WorldTraveler said:It is a whole lot more flimsy than you want to admit.
