I don't know about that. He's at JetBlue and doing a great job of screwing it all up. Remember they just hit the Control, Alt, Delete button on their entire operations a few weeks ago because of the weather and their lack of operations infrastructure. The JB schedulers didn't even know where any of the pilots were located.

You now lose your job or better yet get arrested.

For the past 30 years he has not dared to eat, drink nor interact with anyone on the airplane.

I look forward to watching the first interactions with this new polarized crew you speak of. I'm guessing the stance taken on this forum will be a bit stronger than the stance taken in person. Trust me Frank could care less.

I will trust your good word, sir, on how he was hated by the scabs. I find it absolutely fascinating that the very person who gave the scabs their career(at the expense of EAL and strikers) would be persona non grata. Feel free to expand on this dynamic if you're familiar.

I'm glad I never had to experience it in person but the very ones who helped Frank out will also be the loudest complainers when things go wrong, ironic isn't it?

I have only run into one Frank lover in my 13 years and he was an Eastern scab who got on the property here in the 90's. Everyone else hates the mere thought of the man.
