On the other hand, the pilots might be interested to hear that my husband, likewise, believes in holding his own in a contentious discussion, even while looking for common ground.) I'm not surprised that you'd like to drop it now.... I dare say we've all found ourselves in that position one time or another. That's what makes sayings like "Look before you leap" so wise, and why many of us have found we learned a lesson "the hard way." ) I will fully support (with no hard feelings) anyone's decision to put me on their ignore list if they don't wish to read my posts. I think personal insults detract from a constructive dialog about the issues, and that is, after all, the purpose of this forum. At least it is for me. I look forward to discussing the issues, the track record of the candidates, and the direction the NJ pilots wish their MEC to lead them. 
I urge your group to pay close attention to their health. We've all heard that stress is a silent killer, so it is not surprising that it is responsible for a whole host of lesser illnesses, like head aches, back aches, etc, as well as stomach upsets and fatigue. In turn, those problems take a toll on over all health and leave one vulnerable to germs floating around. You guys could be in for a rough winter! Look out for one another.Lets make Thanksgiving so safe that management will be left speechless. Remember to keep everything safe and legal !!!!! If you see a Flight Options pilot at an FBO wish them a safe Thanksgiving weekend.
Unfortunately, there are always some things beyond our control. For those situations, I wish the pilots well, and hope that things can go their way. In short, I wish them luck, when at the mercy of fate.
