Oh to be young and naive again, lol. What's that expression, "Youth is wasted on the Young". The merger had gone through I would have made the right choice by sticking around for sure. Who knows, sticking around at NK make work out as well, hard to say....

Obviously a troll, no need for anyone to entertain him.

Remember guys, arguing on the internet is a lot like competing in the special olympics. Even if you win, you're still...

At some point you have to own you are the exact same way you claim others are.
Theres a word for that: hypocrisy.
All you have to do is talk a little crap about the Almighty Momma D anywhere and their brainwashed koolaid swilling masses will flock over to defend their momma's honor. It's quite entertaining. I've lost count but it seems like way more Delta guys here on the AA page arguing for their air line than the other way around. Why is that?

Why are you hanging around in the Spirt Forum?

Accept it, if we stop coming to the AA forum, where are you going to have some fun? It was dead for about 2 days.

Trolls are always hungry. Never feed the trolls. If you do, they will always come back for more. It’s a never ending cycle with those gremlins.

AA has always (25 years) neglected international. Like someone said on another thread, "Delta uses domestic to feed a profitable international system.", "American uses international to feed a profitable domestic system.". Wide bodies just haven't seemed to be a priority at AA. They certainly weren't a priority in the early 2000's when management LOVED RJ's. I think, deep in the bowels of Centerport (or whatever Parker's Palace is called now) there's still a cadre tasked with figuring out how to make contract RJ's work so they can reduce pilot headcount at mainline.

Oh well, not my monkeys...
