You are quite right, but it's high time we had a pilot ADVOCATE in this position, not a "yes man" who's willing to sell us and our professions down the line. My friend worked in the NATCA office in DCA for MANY years and knows these people like the back of his hand. You've seen how much ATC is willing to work with us after THEIR contract was gutted. Sturgell is apparently wanting to keep things just the way they are. That CAN'T be good for us NOR ATC. JMHO
