Arctaurus,
Many, including the good Kaptin`s friends, are thinking likewise. He claims he withdrew because of moral issues, but I think otherwise. Even if he wasn`t rejected, as he proclaims, then he would have been put under enormous pressure like the rest of those who chose to sign.
Kaptin M`scredibility is seriously under scrutiny even by his mates and brothers in arms; more than ever before. I`ve said it here previously that the members had nothing to fear from those who declared their hands by signing and staying signed, but those who sneaked in the back door at midnight to sign, and then when discovered and `counselled` by the AFAP on the stupidity of what they`d done, changed their minds were the ones to fear. They then became the pillars of strength of the movement.
First there would have been the `phone call from an F27 Captain bleating that he was unemployable on the world market, and if you went back then it would effectively end his career.
That then escalated to minor threats, and if the recalcitrant individual continued his folly, then the really serious harrassment started, e.g., removing the sump plug from the car, painting the fence or car, right up to and including sending a funeral director to the weak one`s house to collect the body. Really professional stuff.
Maybe the undertaker with a tape measure hanging over his shoulder arriving at the door to take measurements for the box was the cause of his `moral jitters!`
