No raw nerve WN. The topic started by 'busdriver is a valid one & good for discussion in many branches & avenues related. I am just tired of general discussions & points of view that are immediately met with vitriol or attack when a logical swapping of ideas, arguments & points of view are thrown away.
I raised the question as a genuine thought seeking others' opinions. And yes, I knew it'd draw some heat because people generally don't like their industrial relations opinions or thoughts called into question. In fact pilots seem to exercise their rights & their action / inaction accordingly in a way to mimic investor rules of engagement: act out of fear or greed & rarely ever for the greater good (ie as per what a union or association is meant to defend).
Am all for light hearted banter - I just don't feel that attack is the most ideal primary form of conversation. So let's agree to leave it at that? I'm happy to discuss things related to this topic.
