Good Lord man...How did a line pilot steal another companies line pilot's job? Line pilots do not make the decision on what to fly, nor can they do anything about it. We do what we are told unless it is against the contract. That is just as bad as the rampers treating us bad because we, AE, start serving a city that is/was served by AA. It is marketing/customer who decides where we fly not the line pilot.
Here at Eagle, anyone in the training center is management. They have a senority number but it isn't used. The IOE/Line Check airman are line guys though.
Are the people doing sim checks line guys? If not that is plain wrong.
