We have the same rumor here at ENY. The company has been tired of his antics for a while, he bothers them. He bothers some of our union officials, too. He's doesn't rein in well or follow convention.

I've personally seen a lot of the work he's done that goes unannounced and un-broadcast that gets little things fixed before they ever become a bigger issue both for individual pilots and the pilot group as a whole. This pilot group has lost a valuable asset. Hopefully he'll get his job back, though I think he'll be muzzled if he does.
