All is not lost however. I have a investment deal for you. Send me 10 grand. I will make you some money, If there is no economic downturn, unanticipated event, I execute my trading plan then I might make a profit for you as early as next Spring. Are you in?

All very true, but yet not a peep of criticism about the company's method of wooing some yes votes out of people with this ploy? You're right, it did have a lot of outs for SD to back away from it (heck, he doesn't even have to do that; it's just never mentioned again). So forgive me if I didn't buy the other propaganda being thrown my way about the TA like it creating a need for pilots, how scope was improved, etc., etc., etc.

That statement was filled with a bunch qualifiers. Whomever took that to mean definite hiring needs to buy some beachfront property in AZ.

I don't think anyone took it to be definite due to the qualifiers... however it was certainly a very low way of trying to get votes for the TA.

Shack. It certainly didn't add to SD's credibility, and it's a helluva long way from "good faith".

I second that. it was just odd that management would join in the sales job given what a great deal they'd gotten if we had said no. What was it? Guaranteed five years without a raise?
