He was management and a "yes man", and disciplined pilots for making the right calls, because simply it was his job to do so. On multiple occasions he has asked pilots to to unsafe or illegal acts, as all the PM's have done.
Until we have PM's and a chief pilot that is not willing to do anything illegal or unsafe "for the good of the company", it will be only through our Union and ASAP that we can make some real change.
The best thing our company could do would be to hire pilots into management with integrity and the ability (and authority) to stand up to higher-ups trying to push illegal or unsafe activities.
The definition of integrity is doing the right thing even if no one is watching or if someone is pressuring you to do the wrong thing. Bilger may have had integrity when he was in the Air Force. In fact I would say I know he did. However he did not have it as a PM.
