Petition - HL 217 (3)



Concerning “Last Hoorah”

From: Jim Neal

Subject: Possible Last Hoorah

Mark,
Thank you for your heavy lifting, putting out High Life and PCN.  You do a SH job with both of them.
I think your "Last Hoorah" is the waste of a gentlemen's time and emotion.  Yours.  Since you said it was for general publication, I tried to read it as though I was neither privy to, nor invested in, its content.  If someone, stuffed in Coach reads it, they'll think we were overpaid whiners who should have planned better.  If someone in first Class reads it, they'll wonder how they can emulate 2005. I think you've simply taken a knife to a gunfight.
Civil Rights won after they went to the streets.  LGBT won after they went to the streets.  We went to board and court rooms, and lost.  We never cost DAL money or face (Lawyers for them are bidness).  I'm not for insulting management with a daily bag that I collect from my cat's sandbox, or for immolating myself in the terminal, but white glove attempts have proven ineffective.  
Every time I see Richard's Welcome Aboard video about Delta and its great People, I am insulted and enraged . The last time I felt this way was hearing LBJ say he cried as he read our losses, and I was on my way to Hanoi at night, with his rules, alone, to hit his hand picked target.
To Richard, et. al., we're simply road kill in the rear view mirror.  No one goes back to check on a flat possum.
Best regards, and I hope you haven't written your last,
Jim Neal

Mark,
With no one else advancing to the fire, someone has to throw themselves across the barbwire.
 It's now easy to say that on Day1 we should have rolled in hot and nuked Virginia Avenue: might have made the Flying Pig collateral damage, though.
Keep your quill wet,
Jim


Editor:  I want to thank Jim for a compliment and his very honest and candid remarks in the post above.  You would be surprised with how much of what Jim says that I also feel and believe.  I know that what I am trying to do is likely peeing in the wind but I did it anyway.  I do have a desire for our story to get known and simply wanted to contribute something that may advance that cause.

Subject: "Is Your Retirement Safe" article
Mark,

I hope you have a chance to send your article to all the local papers in the Atlanta area and to all the major news organizations in the country. The local paper here in Fayette County, GA is www.thecitizen.com .
Delta has always tried to avoid negative publicity so maybe this is the only way we will get any satisfaction in our continued fight to recover what we have lost. Thanks for your hard work.

Editor: Thanks Bryan,  There is a strong likelihood that this article will not move the football.  That, however, is not the reason I wrote it.  For lack of a better explanation it was just something I wanted to get off my chest in the hopes that it could find a wider audience.

Mark, 
Read your article regarding the fight for recognition.  You and the others should be proud for what you did regardless of the result.  One avenue you might want to check out would be emailing Mr xxxxxx  ((This is precisely what I need YOUR (and other PCN member’s ) help with……making media outlet contacts with this story))
He is one of the reporter’s for the XXX program.

Yours,   JP

Go Seahawks!


I have delivered the below article to the AJC and hope that the PCN subscribers (like JP above) can help me get other media outlets to publish the jest of this article.
