Aha! The man of the hour! The great mystery man and elusive, taunting agent provocateur...the systematic, sycophantic scourge of Usapia...the brutish baron of backbiting...the authoritarian autocrat of agitation...the fearless, fulminating firebrand of futility...the garrulous gangster of goad...the irritating incendiary of the ill-advised...and last but certainly not least...-the all-around thorn in the side of all concerned west pilots...
Yes, welcome back to the inquisition, where you'll find under the spotlight of intense interrogation, that you have nothing whatsoever to fear from the incisive questions about to be asked of you, and that your interrogator, though appearing to favor certain moral practices originating in the minds of Homo sapiens, carries an open mind where it concerns the moral proclivities of that newly discovered genus of Homo that you've come to be associated with...(and, incidentally, going by traditional Linnaean taxonomic nomenclature... given the species name "usapian")
-But before we begin, let's take care of a few formalities...Is your last will and testament in order? Have you provided for written medical contingencies...end-of-life orders, etc. -not that you will need them, of course...Please feel free to use the facilities before we begin...
Ready?
Ok.
What is this rumor I hear that you, PurpleTurtle, AKA "PT", might have been one of those fortunate pilots hired...let me put it concisely, so as not to give you cause or opportunity to evade...one of those hired "after the 2005 merger of US/AWA"?
That is all!....not so bad, was it? You can relax now...and answer honestly...and yes, you'll still have the chance to see your grandkids grow up...enjoy a long, prosperous career...

I have several trips each month with 2 plus hour breaks and rather than sit upstairs here in PHX in the terminal, I go down stairs and use the crew room computers. I see that you really have to close your browsers as opposed to just hitting the back arrow, lesson learned

Lol, okaaaay...well, thank you very much purple. I have to say, I didn't expect such a bonanza of useful information to come out of that wily pie-hole...nevertheless consider:
"...if the interrogatee responds to a direct, probative question framed such that the response must be of positive or negative truth value, ie. "yes" or "no" and is further framed specifically such that a positive, or affirmative response might be considered prejudicial to his interests...under such conditions, if the interrogatee responds with a neutral, noncommittal irrelevancy or attempt at light-hearted humor, combined with previous verification/denial inconsistencies, the interrogator can surmise with a confidence factor reaching the 97th percentile that said interrogatee, though ostensibly evasive, is nevertheless counter-supraliminally responding in the affirmative..."
-handbook of psychological interrogation techniques,
CIA vol. IV pg. 27
So, now that we've established with 97% certainty, as the handbook says, that you are in fact a third lister...there's just a few follow up questions I'm sure you wouldn't mind answering...(and, really, purple, resistance is futile...the above is just the tip of the deductive logic iceberg should you unwisely consider more evasion....BTW, do you have any allergies, or are you sensitive to any particular physical stimuli...such as electric shock, loud noises, fingernails scraping on blackboards, etc.? -no reason, just curious)
As a third lister, would it be fair to say that your fierce, and fervent support of the east position does not originate from a gushing wellspring of idealistic humanitarian altruism on the part of yourself? If not, would it be a further equanimous assertion that such impassioned advocacy might contain the remotest, most minuscule microscopic germinal seed of semi-enlightened self interest?
Take your time answering purple, no hurry...of course not too much time...The Handbook, afterall, has quite an extensive literature on the evasive uses of silence...you would be amazed at what can be gleaned from taciturnity...

Hmmm...what does this say about your response when I simply asked you if you had a west connection?
As I said, I don't know where PT falls on our list, but I don't think I've ever seen a 3rd lister have as much to say about the Nic as he has. When I fly with one the Nic rarely even comes up as most feel as they have no dog in that fight.
Just a couple things to think about.
