OK, let's start from the beginning. Here is what I posted:

Now here is what you said I said:

Where in my post do I "accuse" junior pilots of voting YES? Where do I state that they "will" vote YES?
You read into my post something that wasn't there. The conventional wisdom here has been for quite some time that the top half of the list only cares about pay, and only the bottom half of the list cares about scope. While too broad a brush to paint with, that is probably true in a broad sense. That's why I've been saying for months that IF we are to be saved from another scope giveaway, it will only be because the bottom half of the list saved us. Consequently, if a scope cave-in got voted in, it will have been because the bottom half of the list (junior guys) voted YES. That's not my opinion, it's math. If the junior guys vote in lock step to save scope, the senior guys can't stop it with their YES votes. That was and is my only point.
Now for you to piggy back on this post of mine as your excuse for your demeaning post about military pilots, is not appreciated by me. You apologized, and you should have. But don't pull me into this.
