now i know you are crazy. fl is a nice dude, but come on, he was worthless as a cp. did you ever actually go to him for anything? he was usually knee deep researching corvettes, great to talk to, hope you just didnt need anything. i will take the current bunch anyday over the old group. sure they had hours, but what the heck did that do for us?

i like the fact that these current guys know the airplane, and fly more than i ever saw the others. fl and rc didnt even have medicals for years. bd's uniform is the only thing that looked like it had 20,000 hours.

i have heard sh called a lot of things, never angry. dont know him any more than rgt and seeing him in the lounge, but he doesnt strike me as mean.

hours mean nothing, what you do matters. for the first time in years i feel the cps are there because they are smart and able. not just due to the fact that they have 20,000 hours.
Completely agree, as do most others
 
Maybe Leonard could be ne of the new assistant chiefs.....hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha. He already thinks he is.

BD has helped me out before. Nice guy.
 
I had the no APU argument twice on my last 4 day. The first time I took it to Dispatch, MX, then finally CP Ken who's comment was "I disagree with you but it's your call", that was the end of it. The second was me telling DX I wasn't taking a plane to the panhandle, DX telling me there were no spares, me telling DX I still wasn't taking it, and DX miraculously finding another plane 5 minutes later.

To quote Nancy Reagan, just say no.
 
you mean they passed the plane to someone who would.

I am curious, have you had any previous interactions with CP Smith? Because, he loves to come at people hard and see if you let him push you around.

Yeah, it's SOP to pawn the plane off on crews until they find someone willing to take it so I'm sure it went somewhere after I refused it.

Haven't had any trouble with Ken, he's made his opinions known when I've dealt with him but he seemed to look for a workable solution rather than pushing me to do something I didn't want to do so I can't complain.

It should be interesting when the CA I am flying with is willing to take a plane and I'm not. We'll see what the CP's say then.

Knock yourself out bro! Personally, I don't think you'll get too far with it, but it would be fun to watch.
