Edit: I’ve changed my mind, I agree with the union.

This is not logical.

Interesting to see how the escalation works in someones thought process, but these are not valid arguements.

Perhaps there are antiquated rules and possibly dangerous flight systems approved by the FAA. Maybe these pilots need to be protected from being publicly persecuted in the interest of corporate profit and confidence in the government.

You’re right, I’ve changed my mind.
Do defense attorneys “stand in the way” of justice?
Yes. If justice means a criminal going to jail, defense attorneys do stand up and fight tooth and claw to prevent that happening. That is thier job. It is the job of the prosecution, the government, to overcome and enforce justice.
I don’t think that’s what justice means. Justice means that only people who a jury believes are guilty of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt go to jail. Defense attorneys serve that definition of justice. One could argue that prosecutors stand in the way of justice because their job is to put someone in jail regardless of whether they are truly guilty. In reality, the adversarial system is justice.
Yes, well done. That's reason at its best.
Because a good union sides with it's members. That's how they get members in the future otherwise why would anyone sign up?
> why would the union have any problem with the NTSB interviewing them?

They don't. You sometimes have to read more than just the HN headline to understand what the issues are.
