He is a lawyer.....what do you expect? Most of these 4th floor types prefer to fly desks. Being a pilot got them the job.....they could care less to ever touch an airplane again if they didnt have to. That is how and why they work against us. They will do whatever it takes to avoid coming "back to the line".The same can be said for Moaks hand picked minions that worked along side these guys to sell us constructive engagement.
...and he's grudgingly admitted to being forced to check out in the baby 'bus, 'cuz he drew the short straw, he'd rather stay on the 75/76. ...which only happens to be the "laziest" pilot-maker in the fleet. I know, I fly it.
Maybe he should really be checked out in the Maddog, and try some 4-5 leg days, along with its BowFlex-on-a-NordicTrak flight controls.
