Any HWD pilots could probably expand on this.
I haven't been with the company in about 6 months, my last flight with the company was about 3 days before they moved the airplanes from OAK to HWD. HWD is dying almost completely because the base manager is an absolute moron. Instead of securing new runs, or pursuing leads he is doodling on graph paper, and going on walks. I personally brought two leads on taking runs from other companies and he did nothing. One big box executive came up to me and personally told me to have AMF bid the only run out of SFO we didn't have, and we had a 100% chance of getting it. He did nothing to make it happen. If you go to AMF you will hear all about him, and there are about a billion cooky stories. It is sad because OAK was once a flourishing base.
