Sure, I thought a moving map would be nice, but never did I possess disdain for the notion of flying the likes of a stretched executive jet with all the bells and whistles. No need to thank me! Clearly, the collective legacy crowd had no vision for the runaway potential of the farm team operations. We are guilty of allowing our union to represent divergent interests, much to our own detriment.
