Correct thought and being the RIGHT kind of person first.................
Starter Crew – cheap shot and I’m calling you on it.
The issue is the woman’s wages, her work environment and her drawing public attention to her unsatisfactory condition. The issue is NOT her politics (at least to me). I am revolted at your attempt to marginalize her.
Virtually any person who has an opinion, that opinion/choice could be offensive to somebody else.
Do you eat meat? If you do; realize that some vegetarians object, some of who would deny you the ability to consume animal protein.
Do you believe in one woman/man one vote and representative government? In North Korea, and other places around the globe, that is dangerous thinking.
Is this your mind set; line them up and ask the acid test question? If I’m on the left then first I need to know if she has had an abortion in her past (or rallied to support the cause), is gay (or supports the lifestyle), hates corporations, is committed to redistribution of wealth gained "illegitimacy" and does not consume animal protein. If I’m on the right then first I need to know is she attends my Mosque, Synagogue, Temple or Church, owns a firearm, supports a nuclear power plant in every neighborhood and unlimited whale hunting on the world’s oceans. If the person fails the acid test question then we throw them under the nearest bus or train track-good riddance. If they pass the acid test, then pull out the stops to help them. What complete bollocks, at least in my world view.
Then you say may be “other issues” in her job performance relating to the termination. Ok, the same could be said about you, me and EVERY other individual caught on the wrong side of an industrial job action. I recognize character assassination propaganda when I see it.
If she were politically aligned with your personal persuasion would you have written your post with the same highlight to her website? If not what does that say about your character? What was your motivation to research her background to the extent you did? Do you have a vested stake in the company, or a personal vendetta against her? Or is it just glee watching someone with whom you apparently disagree lose their job?
One of the things I like best about aviation is that it demonstrates what can be accomplished by people who agree and abide by a common set of rules and work towards accomplishing the same thing. I could care less about the opinions, religion, sexual orientation, dietary preferences and politics of by colleagues in the air traffic control center, flying the jets around me at better than 1,500 kilometer/hour closure rates and 300 +/- meters vertical separation, analyzing the weather & dispatch or doing the dozens of other critical jobs necessary to move a commercial jet from one place to another safely. I support all of their efforts to be compensated well for the tremendous job that they do-regardless of their political philosophy.
It seems to me that you may be GUILTY of being plagued with the same malady that many accuse individuals of the fringe (to use your word): INTOLERANCE of and HATRED for those with whom you disagree. Thanks to your outstanding research and reporting we know she is politically on the right, and the point of that with regard to her wages and working conditions is what?
