This comment is offensive because it is inaccurate.You guys are being played like a fiddle. I would normally say I’m shocked you haven’t figured it out yet, but, I’m not.
If DAN members only knew the superb level of technical and business acumen the owner participants have brought to the table on behalf of DAN members, they could not help but be impressed - even in awe. As I am of each of them.
So, I would like to sincerely convey what a great privilege it has been to be associated with the terrific DAN members that have participated in these direct meetings with Diamond. As I have fortunately gotten to know them well, from all the time we have spent together during the numerous pre and post conference calls that took place surrounding the major, global meetings with Diamond. Plus, there has been, and continues to be, the near daily internal communications we have using a collaborative smart phone app.
And simply because there have not been any tangible results announced yet this is no indication whatsoever on just how fantastically well represented the owner’s group is and the shear dedication of this ad hoc team. Owners might even take some pride at what this team has worked so hard to accomplish in these first of its kind meetings. Therefore, speaking only for myself, I do not take kindly to this type of unfounded criticism.
Finally, this is probably as good a time as any to thank both Diamond and Garmin for their willingness to host these meetings over the course of the summer - in a spirit of cooperation and candor. No one is getting “played”, and certainly not this DAN group.
