Re: EPA update

Why do you feel entitled to compensation? Bad things happen to good people.
Life isn't fair. Live with it.

It seems that you're angry at the 10% (your figure) pilots who create the
problem, along with the establishment for not resolving what you perceive as
a problem, and have decided to do whatever you can to get even. Swatting
flies with a cannon.

Like I said, you are punishing ME, personally, by taking money from my
pocket to pay for a useless containment system. What do you get from it,
except the satisfaction of 'getting even'?

You've stated that everything you've done is legal. Tell me, is it right?
