Aanyone know which bases have these types of power-tripping chiefs at AA?

Kinda reminds me of the ORD Eagle Chief pilot, circa 2019.

Chris Warren, just so the turdhead ORD CPO Eagle has a name.
The guy who called a Top-10 seniority CA and asked why he used Type-IV to anti-ice that day and lectured him how expensive it is. And how according to his "analysis of weather" (CW never really flew as a CA, he was a FO when promoted to CPO) it was unnecessary.

This place doesn't make sense.

The Envoy NY CP was a young FO with a habit of yelling and trying to fire anyone he could. He’s at AA now, hopefully they keep the ferret as far away from the CPO as possible.

Ha! Turdhead. Absolutely. CW just wanted to terrorize for his own enjoyment.
Absolute d**k head. Hopefully he never gets into the cpo at AA. He shouldn't have been let into the union. Shame. He is the epitome of anti-union.

I did have a close friend get killed in a plane crash and the CPO could not have been more helpful.

I sometimes wonder if I work for the same airline as some of you.

Talked to a guy in CLT that had the union call him over 2 fatigue reports in 2 years. Was told "management sees a trend." Extremely disappointed (but not surprised) the Union didn't back him up to management.
