When I first got to Horizon, people said BL failed, then they said he just didn’t get through because of his workload as VP of flight ops. Now people saying CZ couldn’t pass, but I am sure he is a better rounded pilot than some of the people who have passed training on the Q in the last few years(myself included). JH may be far removed from his Great Lakes days, but to pass training and fly there one had to be a pretty solid pilot, so I don’t think he’d fail out of training on the Q either. Me thinks these are nothing more than rumors from the never ending rumor mill tbh.
I wish they both would get a Q type rating and fly on the line for even just a week, may be good for them to enter the trenches of which they’re overseeing from a distance
Apologies for the thread drift...
