the chief pilots have already been emailed. They state it is out of their hands and tow the company line by responding “he’s not that bad” and “the article isn’t totally true”. These are direct quotes.

The reason you email HR is to start the legal paper trail. You have to be on record and emailing a CP doesn’t cut it. If you get stuck flying with this criminal you need to be on record ahead of time because given this guys experience Jetblue will side with the criminal and not you. This guy knows the ins and outs of HR. Why do you think he chose Jetblue?
