Don't see how his feelings got hurt, was it the reference connecting him to the recall 10?
Or just suggesting his posse is gearing up to nominate him @ the meeting?
Whatever, then he goes off on his AA tangent. Pot meet kettle.
Wonder if it was a form letter copied and pasted as rhetoric response. That's been my experience at least when writing my congressman/senator. Unfortunately, these middle eastern carriers have a lot more money to throw at Washington than we do. Ultimately money is the only thing these "leaders" of ours seem to listen to. Hopefully enough congressional members will look to the side of reason and prevent long term damage to our industry for a measly short term gain to Boeing. I've finally started contributed to the PAC because this is one issue I completely back them on.
One thing to ponder is the affect these middle eastern carriers will have on our pilot shortage if they begin basing pilots here. I could see a lot of skilled professional pilots jumping ship for emirates/ethiad if pay and qol are better than domestic carrier contracts. Hopefully that translates to better gains for pilots, but I'm done wishing in one hand.
