I feel compelled to put this out their to keep my conscience clear:

I am as vocal as anyone out there in opposition to this TA. That said, I have flown with CD and have 100% confidence that his motives are pure. If he takes a management job after this, I will retire from ever posting again. I think he's there for the right reasons. Remember, he isn't on the negotiating committee.

All that being said, the TA still sucks.
