Many folks understood your argument, we just completely disagree with it. And for a reason.

Far too often over time, most reps have not proven themselves trustworthy on side deals/LOA’s. Many, many examples during bankruptcy. A disaster was averted with TA1 when grassroots involvement exposed more holes than a block of Swiss cheese, and ‘offending’ reps were tossed out on their ear. ARCOS “Batch Size” giveaway was but one recent example why all LOA’s should, by default, go to MEMRAT. There have been good reps, to be sure, but the pilots who are skeptical are that way for a reason.
