Dave, is he the same Captain who was out on sick list for several weeks and the Chief pilot DEMANDED he show up in his office to explain his absence. He showed up the next day, in an Ambulance with sirens and lights - off loaded on a gurney and wheeled in to the Chief Pilots' Office (ambulance of course was expensed to United Airlines).
