New message on Flying Together from Oscar tonight.

He's out of the hospital and upbeat, positive, and says he's coming back as-planned; and involved in meetings.

Also cautiously optimistic. My observations: Gate agents and other ops-support personnel seem to speak well of him across the system. FAs; not as much, but certainly more than JS. Mx: no observable change yet. Pilots I've flown with: cautiously favorable, versus widespread loathing of "that previous guy."
