While you may have personally been offended by this... If I were you, I woul=
d=20
think long and hard about whether or not you really want to approach this=20
like this. These guys aren't thinking about weather or not a bunch of people=
=20
are listening to them during a private moment of practice on a company tac,=20
and personally, I don't think they should have to... They're not Congressman=
,=20
they're Pilots. I don't think drawing attention to something like that would=
=20
be good for them, or the hobby in general.

Just my opinion.
