Ah yes, the mealy-mouthed RS....

On one of his recent radio broadcasts, when a caller made mention of Star Alliance, Rick replied something glib to the effect, " ...oh, so you mean, a group of 5-6 airlines?" He may have said, "major" airlines, but it piqued me enough to write him and ask if AA's sponsorship of his program were responsible for his ignorance of the largest (much more like ~20 carriers) such alliance, and one of which AA is NOT a member.
But I didn't.
Considering how unsatisfying/distasteful I find his product, for reasons others have voiced, I've already wasted too much psychic energy on him. I've decided he's become the man I love to hate.
