He was truly convinced that the doors would close overnight pending a rejected TA. He said you will "NEVER" have a better offer if this is sent back. His words - not mine.

Beware….

Not the impression I got at all from speaking with him last week. He specifically said the last TA was crap and was actively seeking pilot opinions on what would make an acceptable TA.

And thats the problem what are we supposed to believe out of him? The guy basically never fly's the line and I'd hope that he's being sincere in admitting now that it was crap. Maybe enough line guys told him how bad things have gotten that he has finally seen the light. On the other hand maybe he's playing us all for personal gain. I'll let you know in about five years from now how it all works out.

I don't doubt that is the experience you had. I'm just wondering if he is full of crap or has something to gain by serving the lip service.

That was the only time I've talked to him aside from training events, so I'm nervous to hear that you had the exact opposite impression.

A lot of people vote yes and when it doesn't pass they say they voted no. It's very rare to talk to someone who voted yes, especially when they are running for some office.
