ha okay, here's the thread for everyone to see. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...l#post21112022. See posts #12, #16 and #19. "All I know is that MLE is starting 3Q" comes from quote #19. Quote #16 has some interesting tidbits too. No I guess I don't blatantly put it on a silver platter for you...but the information I provide seems quite straightforward to anyone who is reading. Hopefully that information was useful to others.

You can choose to ignore whatever I post. If you believe I post nonsense, hearsay or otherwise useless or redundant information, that's okay. But 1.) it's not necessary to launch a personal attack on my integrity, and 2.) the irony of your whole fact-finding argument here is that many of us already know for fact that ISMs do have discretion and have posted as such!! I don't know what else to say. You're basically just saying our word is worthless, especially given correctioncx confirmed this. So your only burden of proof is if someone you trust comes on and specifically confirms it via an anecdote or trip report or something else.

I understand there is a lot of useless information on FT flowing. Incorrect information on here drives me nuts to no end. But there is no signed stamp of approval on here - something that says hey this guy is usually right, or hey this guy seems like he has never flown CX in his entire life. The only way is to make a judgement call if a poster has integrity or not, and if he has been right in the past or not. I have spent maybe 5 years in this forum? And most of my 3k+ posts are here in CX. I've dedicated a fair amount of time posting to this forum because I enjoy it and it seems a lot of people have demand for this information. I often spend 15-20 minutes on a flight with dead loaded FT pages and typed up some responses in flight. I've been helped numerous times on here too. So it seems rude and unhelpful to be so dismissive of something that I know to be true. While you may not believe that I fly and interact with CX more than you could imagine, at least there is a track record and a way to somewhat get a gist for whether or not I have any clue about what I'm writing. Hopefully some of my thousands of posts the past few years would be indicative of that.
