If you truly wanted to be the "Just the facts, ma'am" person, then be that guy. You obviously can't grasp that it's your tone that makes you so unpopular.

facts are facts. I am not interested in trying to be popular.

AA gave up 90% of the cargo it carried and 20% of the passengers.

those are verifiable DOT facts.

Facts arent facts, you are a numbers person who spins, makes up new definitions and qualifiers all the time.
 
You know what they say, Figures dont lie, but Figurers do!

Ok if that's what you are sticking with then Delta must be carrying 300,000 lbs per day out of LAX (or 9 million lbs per month).
Because that's the only way you can arrive at those numbers when AA is currently carrying 30,000 lbs per day.

It's not for a lack of people telling that to him, repeatedly.

Then you have must be very proud of succeeding at being unpopular.

WT's world is 2 dimensional. He doesn't have access to revenue stats, and can't judge whether or not it makes sense to carry that lift or not. The highest margin cargo is the stuff carried on passenger aircraft are the smallest packages and time sensitive. Stuff that doesn't need to go in a LD3 or on a pallet to carry it. Anyone who's seen rate sheets knows that.

WT hasn't seen that data point, and it's not something that anyone will make public, so there's no point entertaining his opinion on the topic as long as he's missing that component.
