I would bet a paycheck that he voted yes for AA's LBFO. It's clear that his ego is priority number one with pay, work rules, etc. a distant second to wearing his leather jacket at the grocery store.
He's a head alright, but "jet" isn't the appropriate prefix.

Read his previous entries, and you'll see this guy always takes on more fuel than what's on the paperwork. Sometimes that's prudent, but he's a "+1000lbs" kinda guy everytime. Look at that headup display pic before landing, and it's clear and a million. And no problems getting in. Do AF pilots not use TAF reports? Chances are, those jumpseater and non rev pilots probably knew how much of a d**k this pilot was about fuel and begged to launch off with what's on the paperwork. Sucks for all of them. And yes, this guy gets the TOTD award.
