Transmach,
I called the new chief pilot. He was actually one of my instructors while I was in training. He told me that in his new position he was unable to do anything about it because of his job. I personally liked the guy, and I could tell by the things he said that he disagreed with much of what happened, but that he wasn't going to stick his neck out for me and differ with mgmt. He had a way of talking about it without committing to anything against their policy or something that could be incriminating legally. Oh well.
