Lynrd and Bean: What surprises me is that the west didn't sue ALPA over this then. That may have solved this one way or the other long ago???????Prater was destined to fail with that tack. Guaranteed to piss the west off from the get go, not that he cared about that though. The real kicker came when he didn't deliver(sans west capitulation.) What did he think would happen then? Especially after his arm twisting actions gave the east even more justification, at least in their own minds?
Prater pissed the east off because he told them there was a 'problem! and then didn't do anything(other than lean on the west).That would piss me off too. What a buffoon.
Usapa coming was no surprise to me.
