My grip is that somebody at the company allowed him to keep bidding when normal people would have been kicked out of the system onto disability. He got a whole bunch of trip drops that should have been sick leave. Favoritism?

Wonder if the guys making that decision are the same type as those that testified against my bunk in the arbitration? It sucks that our own are working against us. Hope they have fun when they're flying.
