It was someone within flight ops management. None of the rank and file or training dept saw the email. H did throw the pilot group under the bus when he implied a pilot leaked the article to the times.

Also, friendly reminder to never take H or C seriously when it comes to Horizon stuff (or anything really). They aren't typed on the Q and have no idea how it handles or flies, and never will be because they wouldn't dare give up their seniority numbers at AS.
