I was a check airman there, but when I left there were two. RW was the only all checks(on the 580 and 240), and JB was a line check airman on the 580. JZ was a check airman but he bailed not long after they got him requalified. Rumor is Bruno asked for more OE, but RW and the Rudes told him to "suck it up" because he wasn't going to get it. It has also been said Mike Gelwick was in the room when they told him that..... Now that's a disturbing thought.
RW should have been stripped of being a check airman(and chief pilot for that matter) a LONG time ago. I can remember getting new hires from him, who had been signed off from OE, that were NOT ready to be loose on the line. Not to mention these people had reduced OE time!! I even told RW one day, per the company training manual, you couldn't do that to new hires! But they always got away with that, as they got away with giving Bruno none. Now they see where it gets them.
Has anybody been able to find the entire transcripts of the crash yet?
