I was not the least bit offended. We are talking about business here. We are talking about how the air carriers operated before 9/11 and after 9/11 and all the benefits that they received from the taxpayers and the government in the wake of 9/11. This has nothing to do, in my mind, with the events of that day nor the victims and rescuers, those killed and wounded nor their families and loved ones and believe me, I am probably more than just a bit over sensitive about 9/11 and I am well aware of that and why, even after all these years. It affected me very deeply and not in a good way.
I understood exactly what you were trying to express and I agree with your posts completely.
