It could also be said that there are lots of pragmatic pilots down here in ATL. Or lots of pilots who have high expectations for their careers. Or... well, you get the picture. The point being that, while anger is certainly an appropriate emotion to feel with what has happened to our careers over the past decade, anger is not necessarily the driving force behind the decision to support or not support DPA. And I think, as professional airline pilots, most of us are very capable of keeping our emotions out of decision making. I realize you think it helps your argument against DPA to categorize its supporters as "angry" and "emotional." But I think that is a deflection of the real debate. Nice try, though.
