things that make you go hmmmm.
the post is almost exactly verbatim of a post that appeared in Flyertalk. Minus a few edit or add on (on flyertalk he/she ends it advocating burning your miles as there won’t be a United to use them on.

so a first post here, and 5 posts total at FlyerTalk. And for some reason I feel like I read it somewhere else before I read it here or FlyerTalk.
hmmm. What’s the agenda?

UAL is finished. While not obvious, UAL treatment of high-profit flyers as a classic example of financial canary in the mine
At least (s)he has enough self awareness to tailer the message lol. What was needed though is a better grasp of the facts.The bias emerges after reading some of the FT posts.

Exactly. Here's how he introduced his analysis on FT.

Boeing screwed themselves by manufacturing the Max. The engineers should have choked the ever loving life out of the bean counters and insisted that the B737 was already fully maxxed out and should have insisted on a re-launch or de-design of the B 757. There isn't really an economic necessity to keep building bigger and badder B 737's just to please customers who want to maintain a common type on the 737. The safety considerations should have out-weighed their economic considerations, and their engineering people should have maintained adequate safety and redundancy margins in their hidden MCAS system. Oh yeah, and MCAS should have been widely publicized .

Exactly!!! Boeing went down this road on their own. This is what you get for trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip. Adult actions, have adult consequences. The guppy has its mission and now Boeing and Airline Executives are trying to do things with it that are outside its mission. The Guppy has no business going from the U.S. Mainland to Europe in a Guppy. If they actually continue with this stupid plan, we will be forced to advertise it as a one stop flight and not nonstop, especially in the winter.

Given the fact that he posted on a few pilot forums, my guess would be that he's a pilot for another airline. He just happened to post on Flyertalk and it looks like he didn't get the response he was hoping for.
