Agreed. What began as Letter 3 (Eagle)/Supplement W(AA) in 1997 was not the same letter that expired eleven years later. The twists and turns of a four party agreement never measured up to the expectations it was promised to deliver.
ATP409 is angry about how it turned out and I don't blame him. However, taking out his anger on pilots who are also victims of the results is just plain wrong. In psychology it's called "
Displaced Aggression". While his anger and frustration are fully understandable, it doesn't give him the right to screw someone else just because he got screwed. Further, by attempting to displace his aggression on other pilots, he's only making the situation worse by weakening his own union. This also is wrong. It's also immature and unprofessional, IMHO.
