Quote from: Aj3042 on July 05, 2015, 06:03:47 PM
Ok so I've been warned by Commissar XYZ (who shall remain nameless, and who's team has reviewed my post for any anti establishment material) of the USSDDF (Union of Soviet Socialist Dan Deals Forums) to cease and desist in engaging in this controversial topic which is "disturbing the peace" and not leading to any goodwill (which is true). So now, on my way to the gulag for reeducation, I bid farewell to all the great masters of DDF, and salute them with my right hand held high, in the obligatory fashion, and announce-

HEIL DAN!!! LONG LIVE DDF!!! Down with the dissenters!

Farewell.

This seems to be the reason

Did Smisek really think that a pay to play scheme would work out?

Sure he did. They are all about the money. That's the one thing that was confirmed by the whole Danish Price Mistake fiasco.

I mean, it did work out. They operated the flight at a loss but saved a lot more money on fees at EWR. Until people started sniffing around after Bridgegate.

MAZEL TOV!!!!

I have no clue who the heck the new guy is, but at this point, it would take massive talent NOT to be better than Smisek. ;D
I do wonder though how quickly things will start changing, and whether it will be for the good.

Nothing of interest that I've heard so far.
