"The truth isn't always pretty"

That would be your truth....

I started flying about the same time as you, in the same part of the country, same goals. How I ended up couldn't be more opposite from how you ended up. It's not my fault, it's not yours. It just happened.

I think it's good people hear your story. Unfortunately, you go beyond that to the point of intentional disinformation (my opinion) about the industry to push your agenda. That does a disservice to APC.
