Not really sure what to say...
If I'm not mistaken, there would have been the same sort of 'ground stop' or VIP movement warning if is were some REPUBLICAN (accent mine) racking up some votes as well.... or if it had been that Republican President of not too many years ago.

But I agree, a pilot should keep his partisan views to himself.
