A friend of mine was flying with a LAX Captain the other day.
This Captain is well known in the NYC base for his desires to get into the Chief Pilot Office.
He was famous for hanging around the office on his days off, answering phones...for free.
So now this Captain is in LAX, what's he up to?
---wait for it---
Oh, yeah, DPA!
Before the rotation, he went to the briefing room and used the company color printer, printed 300 copies of their little tri-fold list of lies.
Then he goes on to stuff every mail box.
Isn't this the oldest brown-nose move in the book?
Wanna get in good favor with management? Want a cushy office job?
Help destroy the union as you enter contract negotiations!
My buddy wouldn't say anything to get anyone else in trouble (ALPA Code of Ethics says you won't do anything to harm the career of another pilot). But word around the base is the IT people called in asking why someone wanted 300 copies of anything. I guess they've had people use company equipment as their own personal Kinko's in the past.
Someone in IT is reportedly searching to see who had logged into that computer and a phone call should be going out soon.
