ctblu40....you got that tone from an umpire that recieved the very same tone from the amlu once they chose not to work.
not only did the amlu want the replacement umpires to fail in order to validate their worth to milb and to make their position stronger, they harrassed by phone and email, went to yards around the country to call them names, they even put their pictures on the internet. so hey lets call the kettle black can we??? looks like the inferiority complex lies in the amlu's bed.
your beef with the "upper echelon" about wether they are as good or not is silly. they are all human beings capable of error and from the top to the bottom they will from time to time make mistakes. i would ask who is the best big league umpire? who is the worst?
one thing is certain. milb did not think that the replacements were bad enough to warrant crawling back to your union and saying please come back. amlu took milb's deal so don't flater yourself please.
the amlu guys that voted to go back to work saw the truth. settle or be gone... so wether you think the replacement guys could do the job or not the people that put the product on the yard and the people in the seats "did not" miss a beat while you were gone!!!
