Un-freaking-believable.
Observations by Scoop, Raging White, and everyone else who was on property at the time might not be verifiable by digging through the annals of ALPA communiques, but they are not merely interpretations.
While TA1 was sent to us as a pilot group without recommendation, it was sold hard. Thankfully the pilot group did not do what we were told.
And it is a nice deflection to say we have no faith in our pilot group. I have plenty of faith in the pilot group, just as I have plenty of faith in the American people. Sweving across lanes here, but too often the responsibility of representation leads to illusions of grandeur or sets in motion personal agendas. Too often the proverbial onion must be peeled back very far to learn one’s true intent, but it is far easier to see evidence of rot before actually finding it.
