You can still get it done while having a spine; it’s a balance. I agree there were some horrible mgmt pilots in the past. I can only speak to my experience, which I had full support of my managers when I needed it. Everyone’s AMF experience varies. I used to think the training dept was our closest thing to a union, given how often they had to fix things.
