What that means that in effect we will have to agree to some sort of "B" scale for these jets. Ugly yes, but it may be necessary to restore this profession."
What I ACL, said Joe, is that a lot of guys are willing to do that to get this flying back. The question is are the majority as the LEC and MEC speak for the majority. IE it would need to be polled.

I also said it is a political foot ball, as it is ugly and something that every mainline MEC has tried to avoid. Read it all again, and quit putting words in my mouth. Never once did I say what I was willing to do.
