Unity....exactly the problem in the aviation industry and with the U.S. Government and Congress. I know that
currently we do not run the aviation industry, nor have any control of either our government or congress. The people have forgotten who is really in charge.
Ask an NRA member about unity. Ask him or her,after congress passed the "assault weapons ban" in 1994, how many of those congressional "Yes" voters had jobs in congress after the next election. None.

Best of luck in your new gig.
I am sure it is, and I would be one of those who would not forget. I was trying to relate it in the context that nobody new how long the furloughs would last. I apologize if I gave you the impression that I agreed with that policy. I did not.
Thank you, as I am loving my new gig.
