Why don't you ask the pilot who had to go out on medical and he fired?

Talk to the pilot who is still number one FO in PHL and ask how he got screwed over by ESL not once, but twice.

Ask one of our pilots whose wife was real sick and Eddie threatened to discipline him if he tried to take FMLA?

ESL is a POS. Having him as. A CP is of no benefit to the PDT pilot group.
Trust me, the switchover to iPads was a huge debacle.
Plus I know a few FOs who have flown with him. He's a terrible pilot.
Good Luck, PDT. He's now your problem
