Im convinced the present crop of laywers are only interested in winning, not whats just or right or moral.
I will modify that a bit and say that the lawyers for ACPA are telling them exactly what they want to hear...which is that they are right and they have a case. Of course they are not telling the truth and are only padding their own ledger with future income with the invevitable legal work to come as a result.

It is not the lawyer's fault of course, it is ours for pursuing a futile and self indulgent course of action despite unmistakeable indications otherwise. Even after a ruling by the body responsible, our union continues to pretend Canadian law doesn't apply to us. We are going to pay a very high price for that...and I hope the membership who continues to support the union in this remembers this when the bill comes due. No doubt they will blame the people who warned them of the consequences though for their own stupidity. (sorry, I know that's a harsh term, but how else do you explains a wanton disregard for reality?)

ACPA is on a course of self destruction. Our pilot group will eventually join with a larger group for our own self preservation, but I shudder to think of the depths we will have to sink to before the membership makes that happen.
