Treehorn,

I believe you are wrong about this clown. Every airline I have ever worked for had one or two idiots like Radioactive. They live in constant fear of losing their job and will take the company side on every issue. They hang on every rumor and always believe the company when they say the sky is falling. Usually these worms have brown nosed their way into a check airman or training position and know that if they had to change jobs they would lose the cushy gigs and "special" access to management that they have gained through the years. Ignore him. I am sure that most of the Atlas pilots already know who he is and probably have a nickname for him. If not, might I suggest one from my very first airline. We called him "bootsie" because he was so far up managements butt that all you could see was his boots. Since his boots are radioactive it might be interesting to note which management people have something glowing in the back of their pants as they leave the offices at night.

Good luck to both the Atlas and SAI sides of this merger. These things are rarely painless or pleasant.
