No, their responses didn't change my mind, and in fact I didn't get the impression they agreed that the reserve rules in the NNP were concessionary or would result in fewer pilots. However, I did give them another datapoint for their consideration on representing their constituency, and did tell them I'd absolutely vote "no" if a single 76 seater was increased, no matter what the pay increase was. But, at least they read my email and replied quickly, personally, at length, and not via a form reply. As far as feeling "represented" by my LEC, I actually felt pretty good with the responsiveness. Better than I do with my tenants...
