So quit responding then, because just like the "gopher hunter" does to the D-ALPA guys each time, I'll show you the "holes in your position", or the "err of your ways", as Carl would probably put it.

Fairly definitive opinion. Have you polled the 44000 pilots submitting DPA cards?

Wrong. A persons opinion doesn't equate to the "reality" of the situation. It may be a "perspective on what that particular person believes to be true", but is never the "REALITY". (Have you ever heard the saying there is always three sides to the story? His side, her side, and the truth!)

Just like I cannot (or can't

) help you with your grammar Mr. 777 pilot? Grow up and leave the personal jabs at home. That's why DAL88 isn't posting anymore.

Then volunteer. Show the group that your motives can be "pure" instead of "self-serving" like the others you claim. Quit your b!tching, and join the cause instead of sitting in the stands and throwing peanuts.
