Not tired of reading your posts. Just the parts where it's so great being retired and doing something else with the inherent implication that we should all do the same.
I really have no dog in this fight , but I guess I pipe up because I am so strongly against "other forces" determining ones destiny. I'm a strong believer in making ones own decisions and standing by them and reaping the rewards or consequences.

I've always had a problem with unions and their "us against them" way of doing things. At one time they were necessary to protect workers from being abused , but these days there are many laws in place to prevent that. One only has to look at the disintegration of the union movement and power over the last 10 years to see how they are becoming less relevant. There may be some positive things ACPA has done for its membership but from this outsiders perspective it's been a downhill slide for years. We shall see in the upcoming negots whether this will continue.
No question the person in the article comes off looking bad but try to remember that dealing with the press can be a tricky business. They have all the power.
It's all a complicated issue but change is coming and the process has to start somewhere. I would not be in favour of Capt. Ennis continuing in his current position including all perks associated with that position. There has to be some compromise to get the ball rolling and to even out the percieved and real inequities that the current system has brought us to.
