this is a reasonable response to someone disagreeing with you.

[QUOTE=CaptKochblauch;3749458]Someone sent this letter to me, which apparently the old guys are attempting to circulate in Washington. I recognize some names on here, including guys who have been retired for years and years...and have zero skin in the game. And a couple of current reps.
Their point so abysmally argued, that I have doubts about its legitimacy.
The premise of this letter seems to be "our careers did not meet our expectations, so we deserve more time! Waaaaa!" Typical of that generation. I'm sure fiftysome washed up ALPA "has-beens" "wannabees" and "never-weres" will move the needle./s
This is my favorite line: "As a pilot moves up in seniority, so does their position on the flight deck, with commensurate pay and benefits."
Translation: "We want to move the goalposts and give ourselves two more years at the highest seniority we will ever hold."
My friend's dad had a horrible career with non-skeds, finally got on at a legacy at 60 years old. He definitely wants another 2 years, there are a lot more of these type of situations then you might think.

And I am going to write a book on a study from here. It's called Ad Hominem: How the rate of usage of the logical fallacy is directly proportional how often a person grossly wrong about a subject. I've also started a new study looking at the reasons why people lash out instead of acknowledging that their logic might be full of holes.

I love how they all attached their titles, as if anyone in Congress knows or cares what they mean.
A real union would kick these clowns out PDQ.
I highlighted the two current reps who signed in case anyone in Captain Forbes's or Captains Johnson's councils wants to have a talk with them.
