More than time for a whole new slate of executives because of “not being comfortable with wide bodies.” It’s horseshit to run a subpar airline giving investors below average stock price returns based on an excuse. New candidates should not be related to AA, AW, or USAIR. Inflation adjusted the price of AAL right now is worse than in March of 2020. Edit: I just looked; forget inflation adjusted, it’s lower than March 2020 right now.

With what tab are you referring to in trying to distract from the point?

With Putin’s forces walking back across the sovereign border in the humiliating defeat he deserves; certainly not with the POTUS using Putin’s figures and arguments in public to force “peace.” Russia can end this anytime. Putin is using Trump to achieve his ends, and you argued above in favor of that. F that.

That’s a lot of words to say you side with Putin. Don’t bloviate, just lay it out.

Ah yes, just like Putin isn’t driven to remake the Soviet Union. Your awareness of the world is suspect, but he absolutely is driven to make monopolies (now by using his influence of the executive to shut the door for any competition and steer contracts). Edit: “Why Nations Fail” Chapter 6 regarding Venice: creative destruction creates new players who outgrow the old money, but then change the governmental rules with their newfound influence to box out any further new money ideas. Growth and innovation stagnate.

And he’s using his influence over the Executive to ensure his monopoly and amass more. He doesn’t care about any political views or the voters, he cares about his business.

Elon uses his position to lobby and steer to his business, but I thought it couldn’t be true!

It’s all an unnecessary burden and he’s not my boss. that, not spending time sending shit.

Bullshit. It’s just utter stupidity phishing to waste millions of people’s time. Like every bad manager in the AF that steals time for total nonsense.

Elon FWA’ing with everyone’s time. IG complaints inbound.

Don’t go to UPT if you want RPAs, stealing a slot from someone who actually wants to fly. There’s a specific track for that career.

Even more egregious the pipeline construction shutdowns costing tens of thousands of jobs that don’t even stop the movement of oil, just forced it to go via rail which is environmentally much worse.

Someone woke the Italians up on the weekend? Impressive.

Sounds like all those phishing cyberattacks I had to identify in cyberawareness for years. If I check my email and find it, now I know how to report it.

Yeah, it’s an unaware echo chamber that doesn’t realize how small a sample size they are so remain convinced everyone must agree with them, obviously. At least I recognize how typically singular the line of thought on Baseops is!

Strangely enough, also Reddit which is a different Air Force crowd.

That assumes he’ll just become dictator and be able to go for 3+ terms.

This seems like a more damaging idea than a budget cut.

It’s their subsidiary, Endeavor. Not in the big time quite yet.

What if.

FIFY

I am willing to concede the title for challenging the adage of “any landing you can walk away from…”
