It seemed to me he didn't even know the structure of Pro Standards and how it works. To UALs credit they empowered the Pro Standards group at the MEC to deal with the "run of the mill" personality/SOP issues between crew members. So when it DID rarely get kicked up to the company they knew that attempts were made in good faith to set the pilot back onto a better path.
