So let me get this straight. Am I reading this correctly that a pilot with a lower ranking number can be selected over a pilot with a higher ranking number based on votes?

Sorry, if you win a national contest and your ranking is 100.0, you should have first dibs on representing the United States...you won the right to do that.

Is the SSA really going to let "politics" decide who gets to go? What the hell kind of crap is this?


So we SUCK as a country in the world championship, and we are going to let lower performing pilots represent the country - based on votes? WOW!


PSA: asw20pilot is one of Sean's many aliases.

Personal statement: The fact that Sean represented our country in the last WGC is embarrassing. Here is someone who has threatened to show up at a house with a gun, put me in a straight jacket and torture me. The US Team has a code of conduct that Sean has violated on numerous occasions. I quote one section:

"13.3 To Specifically Refrain From. To refrain from any behavior which might reflect unfavorably on the United States of America, the sport, the Team, its management, or which might bring any other pilot, official or the Team into disrepute"

I'm sure he is concerned that his behavior has caused significant harm to his reputation. I for one will be sending a large file of Sean's numerous delirious rantings, threats and abuse to all US Pilots with 85% or higher scores for their careful consideration when they vote on who should represent out country.
