But the argument and sentiment is quite real apparently regarding these narrow-tracking LoAs. The fundamental flaw about it is contrary to what some here may suggest. Pilots who abhor these proceedings are grossly impotent when it comes to doing anything. Not to their discredit, it's simply how things are done around here. I brought up the subject because I had no clue what this blasted LoA was about. I love the tutelage it has warranted. Out of the nutshell, nearly a decade into this unforeseen career or a job, I guess it could be worse.
