Bob, you seem to be a good judge of human nature and if the shoe was on the other foot, I might be "on it" like a dog on a pork chop.
I didn't ignore the nest feathering comment, though. Seems plausable. It is unrealistic to imagine that all parties do not stand to profit from a successful arrangement. What people like Hoss and myself [and others] object to is that if the program totally flops, only the AMA stands to lose from it, the big plane companies risk nothing and can only gain from this deal. The simple question is, do you think that this is fair?
CP, I'm disappointed.
Do you really believe that his "feather their nest" comment related to professional success rather than personal gain? It's rather clear that the reference was to some sort of under the table shenanigans that would benefit the committee members personally. It was an irresponsible thing to have said.
