Gotta agree .. Bruce you are totally off the mark here. The Captain has admitted it was 100% HIS call, and made AFTER consulting with UA who backed his call. Australia had nothing to do with it.

The fact it cost us a million bucks in lost productivity and p!ssed off 100,000 peak hour commuters tells you that much.
