So glad we listened to Pilots Survey and worked to implement an East/West Nationals like the majority of the pilots asked for.

Glad that we will keep doing the same thing and expect a different result..

"We" did listen to the pilot survey. See 2012 RC minutes, especially the last two sentences.

24. East-Central-West Nationals – poll option F. Mixed handicap vs. pure. Note that purpose of Nationals. 63% of pilots polled approve of this option.
