At last check I think Bartels is the one who has been collecting FPL longer than anyone on the MEC from both north and south sides. He's had a nonstop FPL position of some sort since June of 2000.

He's always defended the long time experience being required for a base the size of DTW yet he accused vols like Ken Watts when he said that Ken's "MEC office position that he’s held for 10 years or so, he’s been in a very unique position as a pilot to set his own schedule for almost half his career" and "Unfortunately, this latitude, I believe, may have lulled him into “looking the other way” when disdainful things happened in the NWA MEC office, especially during the last 2-3 years of the NWA MEC."

Lets face it you can paint anyone as an FPL junkie who has had his skin in the game too long, it just depends on who you are trying to smear and for what purpose.
