Bob,
Why does knowing who Tony C is lend credibility to his positions. You either agree with them on their own merit or you don't. You seem to spout off about your own opinion asking lots of questions but rarely deliver answers when you are asked a question. A little while ago you stated that a pilot should be able to fly as long as they were competent. I asked you to give me your method of measuring competence and defend how your method is not just as arbitrary as age 60. Still waiting for a reply. Dc said it well, when you quit the union you gave up part of your voice. If congress doesn't act in time for you are you going to stop paying taxes? Maybe competence could be measured by how quickly you are able to upgrade to Captian? Isn't that what companies are hiring, future Captains?
