Well FTL, I will tell you why it is germane. Frankly their are folks who want me to trust their opinion on this failed TA. "Vote like a regional pilot" they have said. Or use demeaning descriptions of their fellow pilots, questioning their judgement and abilities to reason. Even going in some instances to the level of questioning their qualifications because they came from the military. I am at a point where I trust but verify everything. If they display a level of morality that makes me question them, then I probably won't trust them to influence my opinion. That goes for all backgrounds and experience.

BTW I was leaning NO for quite awhile. Then a few know-it-alls opened their mouths and I began to reconsider. My thought process was in the end there was too much risk. Let's now see if the gamble succeeds.
