Bob's been doing everything he possibly can to avoid actually flying for most of his career. Unless he manages to slide into another non-flying position, -which I've heard is unlikely- I tend to believe that his return to the line will make him a short-timer.
I understand that he was wisely denied the chance to become a sim instructor. We should all thank our preferred deity for that.

Those that can, do.
Those that can't do, teach.

Anyone care to shed some light on this one? Best news of the year was that moron BL leaving as the Director of Training, not sure how he's going to like flying with guys he's been screwing over for several years. Now we have SL and BM out as Base CPs? Rumors that MG is going to get axed if he doesn't take the recall over the PIE debacle?
With one of our most senior pilots leaving to head to SWA after being a huge player in the contract talks...seriously, ***?

Maybe some long overdue changes will be forthcoming. Meanwhile, back at the ranch many vacations and other travel plans were messed up by various unfortunate events. Passengers on some of the cancelled flights were told it was due to "Operational Needs of the company".

No exact numbers, but our VP of planning (JB, insanely smart guy) told me 2 weeks ago that attrition was "a real problem" and we are losing "5% of FO's and 3-4% of captains" per year.
And just to add some fuel to the fire (pure speculation mostly)... I've been told that once you get an airbus type, it's pretty easy to get a call from Spirit, Frontier, JetBlue, etc... not that that's what most guys are looking for, but at least it's not bad news!
