2. ALPA is making a mistake in even allowing our guys to "build" lines. I know that the true volunteers believe that they are in some way able to improve the lines, but considering the restraints they are forced to follow I seriously doubt it. Here's the point, we are now discussing a long time pilot volunteer and people are ****ed at him. We need to be ****ed at the company, they set the parameters for line builds, not that pilot volunteer.

3. GH is number one in base, he'll likely get a conflict regardless of who builds the lines. Let's be ****ed at the parameters the lines are forced to follow please - see #2!

4. Trashing the flying skills of a fellow pilot on a public forum is really not cool. Political differences are one thing, safety really should be off limits.
