You can PM me and I will tell you who it was.

On another note...wondering if it is SOP for our LCA's to come out on the line and tell us all about "Kirby this - and Kirby that?" I don't care for our LCA's telling us that Kirby wants and needs scope relief. I feel that is management using (or misusing) their connection with the LCA's via their fleet update meetings and having some sort of unofficial expectation that they go out and spread the company word to create buy-in on the line.

That is management directly negotiating with the pilots in my opinion. It almost feels like some form of "indoctrination." Reminds me of flying with Abbot's minions in the legacy CAL training department and how they sold POS 02. Remember PJ in IAH. What a DB. They used the LCA's and Instructors to brainwash everyone that the sky was falling and negotiated directly to the pilots and sort of abrogated and bypassed the negotiating process. Of course, it didn't hurt that CAL also brain-washed our scab laden NC and the weak-links on the MEC.....But, that's another story.

Me thinks Kirby will continue to use the standards and LCA meetings for the purpose of spreading his "gospel."
