Probably has a rewards card for the cafeteria at the FSDO by now.
These guys are at the CORE of why this company has all these problems. There was a well placed source that said the CP has long lost his currency. Had not taken a sim ride, or had a valid medical for more than 8 months. But remains CP. There is another group of Good Old Boys that are past 65, but continue to fly " so called " part 91 flights. As long as these people are around doing the dirty work for the likes of BVL, JC, we will continue with the high turn over rates.
Hard to blame the newest 13 for the taking the opportunity to upgrade. Low time, low experience, bearly airworthy old airplanes, and even lower lime, lower experienced, new hire F/O's, and a lack of effective training is a recipe for something bad to happen.
My recommendation to the new 13. Take care of your self, your license. They will CHEW you up, and SPIT you out like a bad batch of tabacco.
