The criticism leveled by many for this rep (and to be fair, other reps have been criticized for X, Y and Z) wasn't about this money per se, just that they believed someone willing to take on that much debt considering their income might not be as objective as necessary. At any rate, this issue is simply a minor footnote to the library of problems this association and pilot group face going forward and considering the past and now present, the future looks to be another certain disaster all but solidifying this pilot group as the permanent "also ran's" in the three-way compensation race among the big three legacy pilot groups.
