If anybody can provide a rational explanation for this irrational, divisive and self-destructive act let's hear it.
That's an easy one. Because there is a difference in opinion both legal and otherwise. The CHRT doesn't make the laws in this country. Their position is going to be judged by a higher entity in the food chain. Your lawyer knows that but are you guys prepared for the water-down conditions upon which you will be able to fly past 60 ?
You guys are trying in vain to convince all opposed to your position to quit and accept your assertion that you're going to take us to the cleaners. I guess that is you best chance at an outright victory so I can't blame you for trying. Give your fellow pilots and ACPA some credit for seeing through this staged hissy fit.
