He had a very bad reputation as a check airman (and nickname) at my previous airline. Its scary that he was allowed to fill ANY position at any level. That his tenure was as long as it was, climbing the corporate ladder by destroying the careers of those above and around him, speaks for itself. By the time senior management finally realized the degree of damage his personal agendas and vendettas had created, it was too late. Good news is that his removal finally came and his request to be a check airman was denied.
