I think you overestimate the interest of the Conservative government and the general public in the woes of the OAC pilots. If anything, the pro-West Tories would be more sympathetic to the former "Blue" team than not. Since it's all about politics, according to you.
The OAC pilots are starting to resemble the Monty Python character with the limbs cut off insisting "It's just a flesh wound"...it's embarassing to see a group of so-called professionals actually advocating taking careful aim at their own foot.
NO ONE FEELS SORRY FOR YOU! MOVE ON!
