Quite a nice argument you have there for yourself. You make an assertion with no evidence whatsoever. When others state that their own personal opinions don't agree with your assertion, you say: "Well of course I wouldn't expect you to admit it." No sense arguing this point with you.

You sound like one of those guys that are convinced that it was the senior guys that sold Scope to line their own pockets at the expense of the junior guys. No matter that those Scope sales contracts passed by 70% plus majorities...which by definition means that it couldn't have been just the senior guys. If you don't think we're here to help with Scope, you're sadly mistaken. The senior guys are the ones who helped negotiate Scope back when it was strong. We were also the ones (along with many junior pilots) that caved in to extreme fear tactics and sold it.
