I think its time to look at recent history in regards to Air Canada pilots who have in the past run for Federal Office using the union/position/and the media, including the internet to pave their way to election , during my time at AC there were four, all used the same methodology, {1} Pick a cause which will grab the attention of those in the public who think in terms of slogans{ie" Im going to shut down all night flying at Vancouver airport "} this fellow, whose politics were somewhere to the left of Chaiman Mao was elected, another picked on a law and order ticket, somewhere to the right of Ronald Reagan, two were not elected, so Ray, call me a cynic if you will but with your bursting on this pilot webb site I see the same pattern/methods being used as those who went before emerging, tell us now, the real objective of your eloquent rant could it just be you have designs on Ottawa? The fact that all four, like youself had a far from event free history at the airline I think, in spite of the many derogatory remarks made about you at a recent gathering, should simply be put down to coincidence, anything else is to me totally out of line. So Ray, there we have it, is Ottawa actually your master plan?
