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.
Actually, out of the 4 airlines I worked for I find Delta to be the most decent at this. Plenty of guys do their tours and go back.
CPO guys are on rotation, plenty of APD's recently left and all SLI's now are on a 5 year tours, CLCP on the ER is going, CCPSA is going as well.
Most of these are "for life" positions in the rest of the industry.
With that being said there are guys who'd rather fly the desk. Individuals, not the rule.
