Heard yesterday that XJ's DTW management team had resigned. Any correllation?
 
What management team are you talking about? Ops, Ground, inflight, CP's. who are we talking about?
 
Station mgmt was what I was told.
 
Hopefully it was that Dan guy that was in charge of the ramp. You'd think his job description was "Drink coffee and stand around - and never, under any circumstances, go outside and see what your employees are doing."
 
The rampie managers were real quick to run outside and take pictures when we pulled up with a bird strike last summer. Apparantly they needed to have proof that it wasn't another errant tug that smacked the #3 engine.
 
Yes, Dan M is leaving.
 
D.M. is living proof that corporate/cubicle America is where it is at. How else can a guy make more money than the most senior pilot at the airline and have everything under his control be totally out of control? We all picked the wrong line of work.

I wonder if he will come back to the line for a few months before he gets furloughed? I wonder if all the Saab crews will be unloading/loading their own planes this winter? Wait a minute, we are talking about DTW, of course they will.
 
He always kinda reminded me of that guy in Office Space. Carrying his coffee around and not really doing anything.

I just heard today from a friend that either SK or CW were returning to the line with the remaining Chief Pilot covering DTW and MEM.

Also heard that MSP would only have one Chief but I'm not sure what that would mean. JT is the Domicile Chief and DW is "THE CHIEF." I wouldn't think they would cut either of those.
 
more tightening of the belt.....not a good sign.....i bet they are not furloughing people because of the number of pilots leaving the company.
 
Is SK still being the eternal optimist? Sure do miss coming into his office for the free bad coffee. He and CW were both two of my favorite captains before I upgraded.
