Perhaps we missed something. Please advise what flights were OPERATED (i.e. USED) with the flight numbers in quesiton? It was admitted that the numbers were loaded in error, and removed prior to being
used. The company made an apology publicly, and specifically in this forum, yet it is necessary to prattle on in three separate posts with baiting and incorrect rhetoric? Pity.
The ad is being used throughout the city. Yes, the placement here was probably lacking. That too has been rectified. Attempting to link these two items, and then suggesting, as some have, that there is mal intent, either from a corporation, or individual shows a lack of reasoned thinking. Were they mistakes? Yes. Will there be more? Most likely, and reported here in great detail.
Slow news week I guess.
