Thanks for all the replies.

It's too bad that the 3rd listers were ignored by USAPA. I've flown with a lot of them, and they have some good ideas. If it's any consolation I usually got my emails answered, but they never listened.

Anyway, all water under the bridge now. It's up to the arbitrators if we get a new committee and what the list will be. Again, good luck to us all. I hope the panel has a lot of wisdom, they will need it.
