Guest Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 He left quite a while ago and it was likely because of the constant guff aimed at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvlchange Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I believed all his posts were unbiased (lol). There number are the numbers. Bean was never wrong. **bleep** off many but hey... Porter is still around. So he wasn’t perfect. Regards Kip. I felt you story, all the best in the next chapter, or a few from now. Your a mentor.

Maverick Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Well, most of us either enjoyed or didn't enjoy his views but he was undoubtedly well connected. Yes there was a bias but a more well informed poster we've had few of. On the other hand, People like you that chuck stuff like you just did we have/had plenty of and I suspect that's why he elected to stop posting.

This coming from a poster with self proclaimed "creds"? Bean's constant antagonism of Air Canada and Porter promptly initiated a push back from many posters because yes he was extremely biased towards Team Teal. Being biased is one thing but perpetually bashing and spewing garbage about other airlines on a daily basis is just asking for posters to "chuck stuff" as you stated. I don't miss him and I'm sure many others have similar opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conehead Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I don’t share your opinion of Beans posts, even though he was biased towards WestJet. I would like to see him back on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blues deville Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 He certainty added to this forum often slamming the whole Porter/Island airport deal which I never really understood but it’s a free world. Very good of him to send Kip a note and if he’s not posting here perhaps his currrent work has a clause preventing him from commenting on social media sites. Or he doesn’t have any spare time.

Being right is fine and most people can accept that, being an arrogant jerk is what sets people off. I watched it happen many times, he'd post high value, accurate analysis but couldn't resist adding digs, slurs and insults. Then there'd be a whole slew of replies because of that - not replies about the analysis but replies about the attitude, tone and side comments. Of course there were some people who would never be able to get past his significant role certain historical events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have mentioned what aggravated you guys was that he was usually right! Air Canada was a basket case at that time and came within a whisper of collapsing. He called it as he saw it, what the hell is wrong with that? You're like a millennial that doesn't want to hear anything bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 At least though he shared his perceptions right or wrong. And then was buried under the crap that was directed his way and in particular by those who could not forget his indiscretion's (those who have forgiven other for theirs, dare I say "Liberals". ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He constantly predicted the demise of AC and Porter for about 3-4 years....then he disappeared when AC shares rebounded and surpassed WJ. So he was completely wrong with his wishful predictions. Thanks for the clown compliment! He taught you well! You know what they say....takes one to know one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
