In the roll call vote the Rep split his vote along the lines of the feedback he received from pilots he was trying to represent. (not that it mattered, CVG is tiny anymore)
The Rep's decision (splitting his vote) was a little unusual, but his logic was reasonable.
Now that the writers of that letter have "gone negative" loudly and proudly they should be able to take it just as well as they dish it out. I kept my powder dry because I figured it does absolutely no good to shoot within the circle ... .
I see your point(s). I took a very superficial read of letter, and was commenting more on how I think it might play.
