Rhetorical I know, but for those uninitiated, the APA will never change course for fear of exposing past mistakes.

Just head on over to The Line, every time someone brings up past mistakes there is a cavalry of area-code seniority and retired APA BOD members that come out of the woodwork to keep their version of history alive. Nobody talks about the future.

The sad part is that we have post-merger pilots in the building at APA that have been indoctrinated into that world who are carrying the torch for a generation that's on its way out the door and is hell bent on keeping that same culture of "we know what's best for you" going.
