Of course the real source is FT, where there is an active discussion that started long before the solitary post on MP.

I appreciate Gary has equity in MP so he has to pump his own book, but frankly I think that's stock I'd be dumping at this point.
I noticed that too, but didn't want to point it out because I am kind of neighbors with Gary and don't want him to think it's personal.

But I am glad I am not the only one who noticed!

Here is where FT posters scooped MP posters by 6 or so hours (and it was more than just an echo chamber): http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/alask...e-booking.html
