Way to go guys. Your rant factor is off the charts. Feel free to make a ton of assumptions about who I am and what I know; I really don't care to justify my position to you.

The fact is this, among the large number of airline pilots from different companies that I work with on a daily basis, there is utter disbelief at the actions being taken by the East.

I suggest that some of you guys step away from the computer and sound out the opinions of people who don't already realize that you'll go to full flame mode if they don't agree with you.
