By p*ss ant attorney, I assume you are talking about PR. Just so you know PR is a damn good attorney and nice guy, who is very knowledgeable and professional. He is not afraid to go toe to toe with the company to protect pilots.
I'll support that statement 100%. That individual is very dedicated to labor law and to his clients, and he's very good. He's also inherently honest, which is a refreshing change from what one generally expects of an attorney. He's very strict on his moral and ethical stands; he won't violate them for you, or for the union, and he doesn't do shady lawyering. I know him quite well, and can vouch for his character without hesitation.
