Carl is a stand up guy. He's a true professional aviator who cares deeply about this profession, as we all should. It's unbelievable some of the ugliness from ALPA aficionados he's had to endure (both here on the forum and especially in private messages) for simply arguing rationally and passionately for the future of our profession. We need more people like Carl with principles who understand the true value of what professional airline pilots do and are not afraid to stand up for it.
Good on you, Carl! I'm proud of you, and proud to call you my friend!
