It was Jay's idea to quit subsidizing failing airlines, and it was my
idea to quit subsidizing failing regions like the South (and MidWest).
Let'em turn into the 3rd world countries they really are. We'll still
have the physical facilities, we just won't have to support them.
Best of all, those 3rd-worlders can't vote the productive people on
the Coasts a president we don't want!

Right. The real solution is to let free market (not unions) work the
way they are suppose to work. In free market the companies will
realize that there is not enough profit for all these companies to
survive. So the market must contract and companies must merge or go
out of business. This is a normal and healthy course of business. If
companies get stuck with outdated salery liabilities they will not be
attractive for merger and will go out of business. This is free
market's way of cleaning up these bad contracts.
The rest of the free world see their saleries go up and down as demand
for their labor changes (including CEO saleries). Pilots should be no
different.

So now you're an international banker and financial advisor too???

Wonder how many will want to take financial advice from someone with
credentials like these:

About rogue Cisco employee and netkook/troll/usenet flooder
Michael Voight, alias "anonymous", "nothilaryduff", "Really Me",
"mrtravel", "mrtravelkay", etc. etc. etc.

Currently posting as anon <[email protected]> .

Recently posting as anonymous <[email protected]>, nothilaryduff
<[email protected]>, Kathy Stoltz <[email protected]>,
Really Me <[email protected]>. See below for a larger list of all
his trolling aliases.

His work e-mail address is <[email protected]>.

Michael D. Voight
111 Bean Creek Rd, No. 118
Scotts Valley, CA 95066-4148
(831) 438-2485
[email protected] .

He is pedophile Gary Burnore's partner in crime. Gary Burnore is a
convicted sex offender/child molester and the biggest kook in the
history of the net.

Voight likes to spend his time in the teenage personals newsgroups
trying to pick up underage girls.

The idiot works for Cisco in their Scotts Valley, California
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and apparently they don't
keep him busy enough so he has to troll usenet newsgroups all day long
from work.

***WARNING: THIS IDIOT HAS BEEN CAUGHT FORGING PEOPLE'S IDENTITIES ON
USENET AND CANCELLING THEIR POSTS.***

If you are one of his victims, or are simply fed up with his
trolling/newsgroup flooding, forward his posts to [email protected] .

He works in technical support, so forward them to [email protected] too.

See further below for more Cisco contact information.

He often posts through sbcglobal and prodigy, so forward them to
[email protected] and [email protected] as well.

His main hangouts (besides the teenage personals newsgroups) are
rec.travel.air and alt.visa.us.marriage-based, a sleazy newsgroup
where foreigners wanting to immigrate to the US hook up with losers
like Voight who are willing to marry them for money so they can get
their green card. Voight is a pro at this, handing out daily advice
on how to be a sleazoid like him and sell green cards.

When he isn't giving out advice on how to commit federal crimes on
alt.visa.us.marriage-based he is usually on rec.travel.air flooding
that newsgroup with trolls and harassing posters and picking retarded
fights with the regular posters there.

He also tends to post a lot in the personals and penpals newsgroups as
well as the support groups for fat people, lonely folks, and for
depression. Obviously after his Russian Internet brides get their
green cards they flee, leaving him lonely and desperate for company.
Maybe that's why he keeps a P.O. Box at the post office, so he can get
his personals mail there:

Voight, Michael
P.O. Box 67016,
Scotts Valley, CA 95067
(408) 461-8707

The idiot is a two-time high school dropout and had to join the
Marines because even the Army rejected him!

He's got a daughter in Orange County that one of his ex-wives had the
intelligence to take away from him. Lord only knows what could have
happened to her if she had continued to live with the kook. The other
kids he has belong to his previous Russian sleazy brides, and since
they come and go so do the kids. It wouldn't hurt to let Cisco know
what kind of deviant sexual pervert they have working for them.

Many people have wondered how Cisco ever hired such a psycho. It
cheapens their image and credibility in the corporate world after all.
Well, they didn't hire him directly, he came as baggage when they
acquired the company he used to work for, TGV Software. His e-mail
address there used to be <[email protected]>.

All intelligent members of the usenet community have killfiled him, so
he takes great pains to get past their killfiles by rubbing his only
two cerebral neurons together and coming up with gems like:

mrtrav <[email protected]>
mrtrav3 <[email protected]>
mrraveltay <[email protected]>
mrtravelkay <[email protected]>, and
mtravelkay <[email protected]> and <""a.a\"@a,a,a>.

Some of his other trolling aliases are:

Lately he's had some gender confusion and has been posting as women,
such as:
JerseyGirl <[email protected]>
Kathy Stoltz <[email protected]>
nothilaryduff <[email protected]>

Perhaps he's thinking of getting a sex change (or worse, raping some
teenage girls).

His latest aliases are anon <[email protected]>and anonymous
<[email protected]>.

It would be a good idea to call Cisco at 1-800-553-2447 and ask to
speak with a supervisor and explain that you are EXTREMELY unhappy
that this idiot spends his whole day at work playing on the internet
on company time. THEY WILL NOT LIKE THAT.

Then write to corporate headquarters explaining what this idiot is
doing and telling them HOW BAD IT IS FOR THEIR COMPANY IMAGE. They
will LOVE that you brought this to their attention:

Cisco Systems, Inc.
170 West Tasman Dr.
San Jose, CA 95134
USA

Then also call them. You should always follow up email or letters
with phone calls. Always ask for supervisors or managers. Try to get
as far up as possible.

(408)526-4000
(800)553-NETS or
(800)553-6387

Contact Investor Relations and tell them you are interested in
investing in their company but won't do so until they get rid of this
asshole who is wasting company resources:

Cisco Systems, Inc.
Investor Relations Department
170 West Tasman Drive
San Jose, CA 95134-1706
Phone: (408) 526-8890

Email: [email protected]

Might as well contact customer service too, they LOVE to hear about
this type of stuff:

USA 1 800 553 6387

[email protected]
[email protected]

Then finally, send letters with copies of his nasty posts addressed
personally to each one of the OFFICERS of the company using the
headquarters address. Believe me, they READ your complaints and are
VERY INTERESTED in them, especially if it's about one of their
employees. They will take a PERSONAL interest in rooting this ASSHOLE
out of their company:

You make it sound as though the process of collective bargaining is
incompatible with free markets. It isn't. United (and soon Delta)
pilots unions are swallowing huge cuts in pay and benefits because
they realize half a loaf is better than none.

He is pedophile Gary Burnore's partner in crime. Gary Burnore is a
convicted sex offender/child molester and the biggest kook in the
history of the net.

Voight likes to spend his time in the teenage personals newsgroups
trying to pick up underage girls.

The idiot works for Cisco in their Scotts Valley, California
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and apparently they don't
keep him busy enough so he has to troll usenet newsgroups all day long
from work.

***WARNING: THIS IDIOT HAS BEEN CAUGHT FORGING PEOPLE'S IDENTITIES ON
USENET AND CANCELLING THEIR POSTS.***

If you are one of his victims, or are simply fed up with his
trolling/newsgroup flooding, forward his posts to [email protected] .

He works in technical support, so forward them to [email protected] too.

See further below for more Cisco contact information.

He often posts through sbcglobal and prodigy, so forward them to
[email protected] and [email protected] as well.

His main hangouts (besides the teenage personals newsgroups) are
rec.travel.air and alt.visa.us.marriage-based, a sleazy newsgroup
where foreigners wanting to immigrate to the US hook up with losers
like Voight who are willing to marry them for money so they can get
their green card. Voight is a pro at this, handing out daily advice
on how to be a sleazoid like him and sell green cards.

When he isn't giving out advice on how to commit federal crimes on
alt.visa.us.marriage-based he is usually on rec.travel.air flooding
that newsgroup with trolls and harassing posters and picking retarded
fights with the regular posters there.

He also tends to post a lot in the personals and penpals newsgroups as
well as the support groups for fat people, lonely folks, and for
depression. Obviously after his Russian Internet brides get their
green cards they flee, leaving him lonely and desperate for company.
Maybe that's why he keeps a P.O. Box at the post office, so he can get
his personals mail there:

Voight, Michael
P.O. Box 67016,
Scotts Valley, CA 95067

The idiot is a two-time high school dropout and had to join the
Marines because even the Army rejected him!

He's got a daughter in Orange County that one of his ex-wives had the
intelligence to take away from him. Lord only knows what could have
happened to her if she had continued to live with the kook. The other
kids he has belong to his previous Russian sleazy brides, and since
they come and go so do the kids. It wouldn't hurt to let Cisco know
what kind of deviant sexual pervert they have working for them.

Many people have wondered how Cisco ever hired such a psycho. It
cheapens their image and credibility in the corporate world after all.
Well, they didn't hire him directly, he came as baggage when they
acquired the company he used to work for, TGV Software. His e-mail
address there used to be <[email protected]>.

All intelligent members of the usenet community have killfiled him, so
he takes great pains to get past their killfiles by rubbing his only

It would be a good idea to call Cisco at 1-800-553-2447 and ask to
speak with a supervisor and explain that you are EXTREMELY unhappy
that this idiot spends his whole day at work playing on the internet

Then write to corporate headquarters explaining what this idiot is
doing and telling them HOW BAD IT IS FOR THEIR COMPANY IMAGE. They
will LOVE that you brought this to their attention:

You're absolutely right. However, it's worth noting that the areas
where unions and collective bargaining still have a lot of weight are
those sectors where there's a limited amount of free-market demand or
where that demand fluctuates wildly based on the economy
(construction, for instance).

Evidently you also have neither the motivation, nor possibly the

"It's too complicated to explain" crap I figure the writer doesn't
really know what they're talking about and are just engaging in
typical usenet "posturing".

But they add to the cost of air travel. Eliminate the taxes, lower the net
ticket price accordingly, and more people would fly. Or eliminate the taxes
but maintain the net price, and that's a lot of money in the airline's
revenue column.

Park a airplane and you immediately eliminate fuel, maintenance, and labor
costs (furlough the crews, ticketing, gate agents, etc.). Leases can be
sold or renegotiated or subleased. Not right away, and probably at some
loss, but they don't have to be carried at full book value for full term.
Even if you have to eat the lease, what's the marginal cost of parking it
(lease + storage) vs. the cost (operating loss) of flying it? Even if the
former exceeds the latter and you can reneogtiate or sell the leases, you
can phase out aircraft as leases expire. The point is, airlnes need to go
on a capacity diet but they keep stopping to fill their plates at the
dessert counter, greedily stuffing themselves in the hope that by doing so
there won't be any left over for the other guy.

Leased. Hardly anyone owns them outright any more. And leases can be

"Lower their costs to the level of the new entrants" - an impossiblity,
unless you want UAL or DAL or whoever, to operate into just ~70 cities, as
does Southwest, or the few dozen cities that other LCCs serve. You want
international service, you want hubs, you need more than one kind of
airplane, you want loyalty programs? Then you'll never get network costs
down to LCC costs.

Could well be - but where does "get our prices low enough and we'll make
money" fit into that model, either? It all goes back to too many business
decisions to add capacity for demand that isn't there except in limited
situations for limited times.

Heh, that may be the one way to make money on airline stocks!

And I made my living watching from a seat on the 50-yard line as the airline
industry struggled to accommodate deregulation. Let me reiterate Crandall's
shrewd observation - not exclusive to air transport but certainly appropos -
that airlines make business decisions that make perfect sense from their
individual viewpoint, but collectively, they add up to disaster for the
industry. (I'd quibble over whether all of these decisions would have made
sense to a truly astute management, but the principle still is valid.)

    > at the margin.

True to an extent, but airline capacity and fixed costs can be mitigated
over a relatively short period of time - certainly a shorter period than the
airlines have been bleeding. And they still don't get it. Capacity almost
never gets cut voluntarily - it takes an airline failure to do that, and in
every case, additional capacity was pumped back into the system in a
counterproductive attempt to add market share. This was a deliberate
decision to add airplanes (from existing or new entrants) when all they had
to do was do nothing.

And the theory also assumes perfect consumer knowledge - which did not exist
before the advent of Internet pricing. Now airlines are paying the price,
so to speak, for trying to play that game.

Sure you can. You just need to be able to look far enough past your nose to
figure out the trends and act ahead of the fact.

You keep focusing on dealing with a snapshot of a given day's overcapacity
crisis - which as I said can be mitigated - but you also have to ask "What
were they thinking?" when airlines placed orders. Look at Southwest's
model - they don't add capacity until they know they can fill the seats
profitably over the long haul. Their current round of expansion is going to
be fueled by whatever they can grab from US Airways and maybe United and
Delta, plus adding permutations of direct flights within their "network" of
~70 cities. That will keep them busy for about 5 years. Then they're going
to have to assess the markets that currently are dominated by other
carriers. Right now, them's slim pickings, which is why growth in the new
LCCs and even the regionals is going to slow significantly for a while, and
perhaps even in the long term.

And look at Independence Air - they ordered big iron and tried to jump-start
a full-blown LCC from the git-go, the exact opposite of the way to build a
LCC. What were they thinking?

It wouldn't necessarily solve the overall capacity problem - in one way it
would exacerbate it by lowering the cost of a new entrant acquiring surplus
planes.

But in terms of that airline's bottom line, that would make perfect sense.
Let some other sucker try to make a buck with them. The real losers would
be the manufacturers, whose new production would have to compete with
cheaper used airplanes.

    > Right.

But irrelevant. In today's environment the marginal cost of operating an
airplane can exceed the fixed lease cost. If the marginal revenue of
operating the aircraft doesn't exceed the marginal cost then ou're better
off parking it. And in that case you are pretty stupid if you renew or
don't get out of the lease.

    > The real solution is to let free market (not unions)

Get real. Unions are part of the market. How much difference is there
between a union using the collective clout of all the workers to get
employers to deal on its terms, versus Wal-Mart using its collective clout
to try to get suppliers to deal on its terms? You just want all the
negotiating power to be in the hands of the executives.

Which, of course, would be pure laissez faire capitalism, which nobody in
their right mind would advocate. Been there, done that, didn't like what it
produced.

You think that executive salaries are coupled to the market value of their

rigged game going nowadays.
