The same. As I recall, Neil was pretty damn vocal in opposition to this contract and especially the extension. As I recall, he wanted more. That hardly paints him as a concessionist.

I am just trying to reconcile how this argument is shaping up. I think the most accurate assessment lies somewhere in the middle. Just trying to find out who's who. And more importantly, why. I frequently find myself at odds with the guys I fly with and it makes me question why their opinions are so opposed to mine. Sometimes, they're just idiots who don't read and believe everything their buddy told them ( ), other times they know something that I don't and I learn something.

I don't have much time left and I am running out of energy trying to convince others what I believe to be true. But I'm still interested in hearing why others believe what is in direct opposition to what I believe especially given that we have both slogged through the same feces for the last 30.
