Did someone at the office actually bring up the short panel time to you, personally? And, inject that in to their reasoning?

Here is direct cut and paste from an Email that the MEC Vice sent to me on 8 Feb 2007:

"Perhaps you have not been here long enough".

Trust me, you dont have to be here very long to know when you are being talked down to, ripped apart in the Queens English (DT), and told "ALPA isn't here to educate you on the contract" when asking questions. Numerous people have complained about Mr. Taylors "Fireside Chat" manner in this thread, I can only imagine how many pilots not on this forum have been chastised. It sounds like a little house cleaning should be in order or at least an apology.
