To date, the ratio is about 100000000 to 1 against this decision. The 1 was a "mole" for Delta who appeared for a day and then disappeared. I personally spoke with a high ranking Delta official the day before the mole posted and told him to check the boards. The mole used some same examples and expressions as the Exec.

None however have been in complete favour of the changes.
