Frankly, what he was doing imho was perfectly legal.. but that is a different story) ALways *****ed about Delta though
He was a greenslip king. He would watch the open time and often reduce the block time which could cause the other pilots and flight attendants to possibly lose pay to ensure he could get a upcoming choice GS. He was always trying to reduce block for 30/7 or the monthly max unless he was actually on a GS in which case the errors went the other way.
