Being "called-out," then avoidance
Your friend, Jetliner, likes to use garbage, from another airline stooge, on another board, which says I get "called-out" and then don't respond. It's a lie, of course. The jerk on the other board just didn't like my answers--because they didn't conform to pro-airline, anti-customer propaganda, and, quite frankly, it looks like that's the same issue here.
As to being "called-out," then not responding: It looks like that's what you're doing here. Yes, finally, you did, sort of, respond to my question about Amtrak vs. the airlines in the Boston - Washington corridor. Unfortunately you haven't clarified some disinformation you put-out about about Amtrak operations in general: I think others on here--obviously not your airline stooge friends--would agree that your comment about snow clearance on the tracks (which I agree is probably true) is intended to infer that Amtrak is prone to every bit as much bad weather as the airlines are. I think the truth behind this feeble attempt at deception is that, when it comes to Amtrak (or commuter railroad operations) there's snow, and then there's snow, or ice, etc. Yes, there IS weather that will bring a train to a grinding halt. On the other hand, Grommit, using your expertise, are you prepared to go on record and say that the same types of weather which affect airline operations--such as lightening within a given range of the airport--likewise affects train operations??
It will be interested to see what kind of answer, if any, Grommit can provide.
By the way, Jetliner, with regard to:
those on here that want to use the forum as a soapbox for their own agenda and to bash the airlines, without ever having posted one single actual complaint themselves
So, can you, please, provide some links to all the threads you started, on this board, which involve a complaint, about a specific experience, you yourself, went through. I think those who favor airline customers on here would be interested in your "encore performances."
I'd be careful, Jetliner, about what I wish for. If that became a rule, the good news is you'd be rid of me. The bad news is a lot of your friends on here would be gone too! I'm sorry, Jetliner, as I've indicated before, there ARE news sources, dear child, OTHER than the Air Transport Association, that CAN be objective. Making comments, based on said sources, is entirely appropriate.
