If you were to ask those that have know me for a while, I have done more to raise the bar for the profession than lower it, and that's been through union work. Specifically being the vice-chairman and chairman of a committee that was very active during contract negotiations and also traveled to help other airlines during their contract negotiations.

I've also participated in an extended strike early in my career and have walked the line with other airlines when they struck/picketed not to mention having come close to losing my job because only a handful of us were sticking our necks out by "flying by the book/contract". So if you think that you're going to shame me into believing that I've personally done more harm than good for our profession then you're dead wrong.

The difference is that you continually make excuses for the NAI business model instead of acknowledging that the bar needs to be raised instead of lowered. It's obvious that you have a personal vendetta against the U.S. airlines/airline industry.
