Why can't someone on a 747 want the same thing?
Not to mention someone who goes out of their way 25/8/366 to argue that point as hard as they can, consistently, while trying to convince his peers that may not agree or "get it" yet of the same?
If your point was that we need more unity at all levels and across all deomgraphics (junior-senior, commuter-non commuter, lineholder-reserve, widebody-narrowbody, etc) then fine, but there are better ways to say it. But its not fair to automatically call someone essentially a backstabber or a drawbridge puller just because they are at a certain seniority number based on nothing more, especially while ignoring volumes of strong and articulate arguements to the contrary.
Gloopy I agree, but i don't think that is the case with Carl. His agenda is only to get DALPA off property. His talking points include any and all things that will further his cause. I currently don't fly with ANY captain that is so passionate about scope recapture. Now I'm supposed to believe a guy on the highest paying equipment in the highest position is "all about scope"????
Carl is trying his best to win the hearts and minds of junior guys. I don't buy it.
