[QUOTE=Xray678;2034552][QUOTE=TenYearsGone;2034468]As smart as he is, I think he needs to March a little bit more; ONE, to look professional in his uniform and TWO, to live a longer and healthier life. There is no excuse for him not to hire a Physical trainer to help him lean out. He makes a ton of money
It's chickensh*t to attack a man for his size. I've flown with plenty of line pilots who are....out of shape. Steve is a good guy. Yes he has a job to do, but he is on the pilots side on most issues.
Would you rather have someone like OC in charge of flight ops? Not me.
Agreed on the physical appearance/girth attack, unless it was all in fun.
To answer your question: "Yes," I would choose OC over the current occupant. The smarts and competence of neither man is in question. But if you like the idea of somebody who could see the pilots' perspective, a rotation of chairs might be in order. Not that it necessarily matters if your hands are tied from above. But if there were one more likely to turn in his papers and walk in favor of pilots, my money favors the high hair of over the expanded belt line!
