Almost saw someone crash

Face it- You weren't there. You can surmise all you want, but you weren't
there.

It's all we have to go on. We are discussing, if you like, a hypothetical
situation, the details of which have been specifically laid out for us. You
have no more authority to say she should NOT have been turned in than I have
to say that she SHOULD have been.

I'll repeat this again for you-

WE NEVER TAKE OUR PROBLEMS TO THE FAA. THEY HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS OF THEIR
OWN.

Repeat what? Your all-caps shouting is a completely different issue, and I
vehemently disagree with your position. That's exactly the kind of asinine
"protect our own" attitude that I'm talking about.

I'm not proposing that I, a person that wasn't there and knows nothing
first-hand about the incident, turn her in. I'm proposing the person with
first-hand knowledge of what happened turn her in.

A lot of the problems we have as members of the general aviation community
are caused by a few people who screw it up for the rest of us. And as long
as we sit on our hands and protect those idiots, we have only ourselves to
blame.
