BoeingBoy:
As I indicated above, “I started this topic to indicate the value of the offer had changed due to pre-market electronic trading. If the price of US Airways’ security goes up the proposed merger offer goes up and if the security goes down the proposed offer goes down.â€
A one-day price or after/pre-market price move was used as an illustration, but instead you try to twist the information, which is exactly my point about trying to twist information. Finally, my technical analysis comments about volume showing sentiment are true. Volume supports the move. Yesterday when I glanced at a stock table the volume was trading at about 600,000 shares with an average volume of about $2 million shares per day, for the time period used, which was my point. Non-Rev’s point that “Is it possible the increase in oil prices and OPEC's announcement of production cuts in Feb had anything to do with the drop in stock price?†is accurate, but again some of the comments above are part of the “twisting†that BoeingBoy and other people who support ALPA’s RC4 or what some people call ALPA’s “darksidersâ€.
What I do not like are people who are a chameleon and two-faced with one personality on a private message board and another personality on a public message board. It’s just plain wrong to misrepresent or twist information.
We all know BoeingBoy does a lot of research and he most likely saw an article like the one hyperlinked below:
See Story
However, why did he not comment on the affect of this fundamental change, which affected the entire industry? Because he feels it is better to twist information to try to discredit an individual and that is more important than having mature discussion.
In fact, if a person purposely leaves out key information from a discussion is that not a form of misrepresentation (By the way, that is a common trait of ALPA's RC4 and one reason why they have often been confused of misrepresentation by two MEC chairman's and the communication committee chairman)?
BoeingBoy, let me make this a little more clear. The column of the article above is "AIRLINE STOCKS - Sector slumps with oil above $62 a barrel." Can you tell us how that may be germane to the discussion? Furthermore, how would this issue affect US Airways' offer to acquire Delta, either on a daily, weekly, or monthly timeframe?
Walmartgreeter:
Walmartgreeter said: “"When," you ask? You could not even garner (don't you love that word!) enough votes, in one of the smallest bases in the airline, to carry the votes of U pilots to the MEC. Copilots and F/As avoid you like the plague, and you make fun of one our most loyal, newly retired pilots by questioning
HIS comments on this board.â€
USA320Pilot comments: That’s an interesting comment, coming from a man who won an ALPA election in a small Western PA base because he ran unopposed and nobody else had an interest. In addition, how long did you have to have hold two different LEC positions because nobody cared enough to volunteer to help in your base? How aobut tha for apathy that nobody cares to have leaders in their base?
Walmartgreeter, what’s interesting is that you always try to bring up an identity first and then wine about it when the same thing happens to you? Hypocritical?
As a member of the RC4 your true union member attitude got us into a position to now have to fight for the AWA contract, which was offered to ALPA at the beginning of bankruptcy II and was rejected by the RC4's hand picked NC and then the MEC. Brilliant. Who was in control of the MEC at the time and made that decision against the advice of every ALPA financial and legal advisor? If this was not so sad because it hurt so many people it would be laughable.
Finally, the damage that people like BoeingBoy and Walmartgreeter have done to this pilot group during LOA 93 discussions by supporting and then being a part of ALPA’s RC4 is well documented. Moreover, to make a comment that “That's why it's foolish to make much out of daily, much less pre-market trading patterns†is foolish when the point to start this topic was an illustration to simply point out when the security price goes up the proposed merger offer price goes up and when the security goes down the merger offer price goes down.
By the way, interestingly today the merger offer price is higher than when it was made on November 15, even with energy prices dramatically higher. BoeingBoy, since you regularly do not answer my questions, let me ask you one again. Can you tell us why the merger offer has more value today than on November 15?
Best regards,
