This will be the THE key first step and very telling of our future.

If we allow ANY 3/4 digit ID numbers (original Atlas) on the next EXCO it will lead to the same road of mediocrity this place has been on for 20 years. The original Polar pilots + those hired in the last 5 years represent a controlling voting body. If we do not stand up and use it we will end up with the same (super senior, check airman) self serving ideology that exist now. How would you feel about 24+ year pay scales? Just another way to trow all the money to the top of the list. The conversation is already happening in those circles.

As for the upcoming political season, the EXCO voting, the present one is already trying to drive the campaigning to not start until as late and as close to the vote as possible. I think this one is going to get ugly.
