Theres a few of us lefties (I like to think I’m center left). We hide in the shadows so that our tires don’t get slashed. We are easy enough to get along with. We’re still all pilots after all. We can talk about airplanes and cars and vacations, our hobbies, favorite BBQ, our kids and our spouses. We can whine about the contract and the company and the bad choices that led us to where we are in life. We don’t have to be enemies just because we vote differently every few years and I still like vacationing at Disney. 🙂
