Having known the "Wookie" when he didn't know a PT-6 from and a Bus Tie...I can honestly say that he is a man of good moral character. And, while I may not always agree in principle with some of his politics or viewpoints on organized labor in the airline pilot profession, I DO respect him and honestly believe that he did his best for his fellow pilots at his previous employer.
Yup.
I was on the phone with him the night of the Colgan accident when he called. Also, wagged my finger disapprovingly at him during his wedding when he was still answering union calls.
Firebird is out to lunch by calling his character into question. Especially on the internet.
You can passionately disagree with anther person and not have to stoop to trying assassinate someone's character.
Why, again, that I'm writing an 'open letter' of sorts to a website full of professional adults is beyond me.
