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.
Yeah....
He loved playing the martyr card....did it for years and used it as a shield.
Simply put: He F'd up more than once. His antics online were just the very tip of the iceberg. As for sick abuse...well, there is sick abuse then there is sick abuse. No two cases are exactly the same.
All indications point to Cujo doing is best to get out of having to ever actually go to work, using all available resources including punching out on "paid union leave". After one such incident, in which he took a vacation to Disney while on "union leave" he was given a career decision day. He made his decision evidently, and this is the result.
I wish it hadn't come to this...more for the sake of his family. I wished the guy would have been removed from the Union long, LONG ago but not like this.
In any case, it's not anything that we need to continue discussing. It's bad form to air out another person's misfortune in a public place, regardless if they deserved it or not. Yeah, I know. I just took part in it myself, but more to clear up certain details and it's the last I'll speak of it.
Lets focus on Envoy and the future.The first E-175 is already on property, flying from 3 different Regionals is returning to Envoy in droves, and there is potential for more. Upgrades are coming down, new vacancy bids will be announced soon, and the flow will continue to send 300-370 pilots per year from Envoy to American Airlines.
Lets move on people.
