It's obvious you bought into his whole martyr persona hook, line, and sinker. I'm not going to change your views, but just keep in mind this:

He was a good rep on a personal pilot level. Meaning if you needed to do a carpet dance in the CPO he was a good guy to have there with you. Other than that, Cujo was a walking disaster from one end to the other.

He returned calls? That's his freakin' job as a rep!!!!!! All reps as far as I know return calls/texts. They certainly do in DFW.



Cujo did major damage to this pilot group by pushing his personal views and convincing enough people to buy into his BS. His mantra for most of 2013/2014 was that everyone on property was going to get hired off the street at mainline in 3 years or less, therefore we should scuttle the ship. The sheep bought into it and Cujo felt really proud of himself.

i think we said 5 years. Since then over 1000 have moved upwards. 600 by flow and the rest upwards. Very few choose to go lateral to chase upgrades, but some did

It wasn't until late 2014 that he realized what a mistake he had made and did an about face on his views. But good luck getting him to admit he was ever wrong. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too (pardon the pun). He continued to argue that he was right in March of 2014 with the NO vote and right in December 2014 with the YES vote....even though the December offer was worse than the March one.

the largest complaint on the March TA was no protection if flow stopped. That was fixed. Numerous other improvements if you do a side by side. But you aren't interested in facts, are you

It's one or the other....you can't have it both ways. But that is exactly what he wanted. Then there are his issues within the Union. He continually over stepped his boundaries by attempting to negotiate directly with management. It backfired on him in the Summer of 2014, he quickly retreated into the shadows and swept it under the rug.

Sam Pool who was always his ally back in the NY rep days quickly turned on him. For the past year Cujo was isolated within the Union and the only people who gave him the time of day was his fan club on Eagle Lounge. He did more damage to this pilot group than 30 people could have done if they tried.

Sam and I have been friends since long before either of us worked here. We don't always agree, but the few disagreements are usually over methods and not over ideology or goals. As for how the union works, you have a terribly short memory it seams. Our old MEC administration used to have open yelling fights at MEC meetings, degenerating to members storming out of the room. Our MEC has always functioned in a true democratic fashion with all viewpoints represented, al all viewpoints respected. The reps work well together, even when they don't always agree. The prior administrations can't say that.
Your characterization is flawed

Oh, and all of that is not even getting into his attendance abuse. Punching out on PAID Union leave just to get out of having to work is bad form to say the least. Especially when you then use that time to take a vacation to Disney. He would regularly abuse the sick call/union leave system, thereby leaving the actual work to be done by some poor pilot who had to cover for him.

not accurate at all. That is the picture the company wants to paint, but it's not true.


That is just he beginning of it. There is plenty more and the company didn't single him out. In fact they gave him one opportunity after another. The problem is he thought he was invincible and could get away with anything.

you don't think so? I've sat in on termination meetings before. Nothing like the circus I went through. I've defended guys with worse attendance records than me, and they're still there.
Oh, and I never used union leave to go on vacation to Disney, that's another lie.
