Yes, and that should be disclosed as well.
More troubling is the fact that Sorenson has done extensive consulting work for AirTran (he may still be doing so...there was an article not too long ago that made reference to this) but none of this is disclosed to the reader.
Sorenson is portrayed as just an aviation consultant who is watching what is happening in Milwaukee with interest from the sidelines. Perhaps that's true. Equally possible is that Sorenson has a financial interest in AirTran's success in Milwaukee and it benefits him (and his client) to bash the competition. Plus, Sorenson seems to have an axe to grind against Midwest (well before all of the drama with AirTran started a few years ago). To me this appears like a conflict of interest.
