But there's a weird thing there where if I comment as 'kokonutz' the post never appears. If I post as 'kokomutz' it does.
Maybe our user names are blocked!?
Nah, your comments are up there.
FWIW, Gary's not an AEI guy. He's a Koch/libertarian guy.
And it seems really important to him to have been the one to take Delta Pesos and made it SkyPesos. So we ought to just give it to him. ^
Of course, if I was Delta I'm not sure I'd even bother messing with the Freddies since it's operator hates them so much.
My comments were not all up there the entire time after I had posted them. They are showing now -- after I had posted in this thread today about at least one of them not showing up.
Maybe "nutz" has an issue with a profanity filter due to a potential sexual connotation of that part of the name? I don't have that issue.
I am a critic of what DL management has done to SkyMiles, but I don't hate DL as an airline. I think much the same can be said for his views of DL: the airline runs an effective operation but has a lousy, customer-unfriendly approach to FFP customers.
His views of anti-trust issues when it comes to airlines is straight out of the American Enterprise Institute playbook. The Koch family has some affiliations -- at least past ones -- with AEI. Of that I have zero doubt.
