This pilot group would be well served by having someone more like Neil at the helm than our current MC.

I don't want Casper Milquetoast, or some other mamby pamby genteel and politically correct person at the helm. I want General George Patton.

Sure he's abrasive at times, but take the time to comprehend the thrust of his posts, and try and look past his occasional incendiary rhetoric.

I get where you are coming from, but the hardline approach has to be grounded in reality, not Sun-Tzu quoting, hat switch nonsense. Been there, didn't help a bit.

Do you mean like the LEC rep BS down in Houston?

Houston is the only indication of legacy bias at the MEC/LEC levels.

Agree. You don't get any Unity by alienating large numbers of people.

"Who can't clearly and calmly communicate the issues?" Did you read the post on the contract extension?

Wonderful, he lurked for months before dropping that. Now he's back to his usual drunken hooligan banter with lots of to help him emphasize his bandwith diarrhea.

Dude might be fine in person, but next to nothing he writes on that board is good for this pilot group. No doubt the scab pipe has the same individual from a CAL perspective. Both are best minimualized until they get over themselves, but odds are they never will.

Two years? Nope. Fly safe.

That's my recollection of it as well .. incredibly toxic. I haven't accessed it for over 10 years. Long enough to forget how to log in.
