How long has he been in the post; just curious? I'm sure at some point dealing with these problems everyday would have to wear you down.
You are correct-but wear and tear on PD is only the tip of the iceburg. That guy is a complete mess! He has been head of the scheduling comm. for about 15 yrs-I think. All we need is to find someone-anyone to take his place!
People moan and complain about how much work these positions are (especially scheduling,) but the flipside is that PD has bunches of trips taken where he gets paid to not fly-that is OUR dues money, and we need a good representative in that position!
There is NO valid reason for PD being rude on the phone (which I have experienced personally,) not returning calls, and generally just not being on our side (the "red arrow day" situation is a perfect example.)
We need new blood in there, and PD needs his dump truck-Together we can make it happen! Just boot him out when elections roll around!!
-Booting that booger-eating menace out of that position would be "change I can believe in!"
(I'm not kidding about the boogers-seen it myself.)
