Hopefully he doesn't come in here like a brand new LT with new-idea-fairy energy and try to crank the optimizer from ludicrous speed to plaid
I wouldn't be too worried if the VP of Flight ops was a pilot or someone with more actual flight ops experience so they could push back on the COO...but we have JL, so basically a non pilot reporting to someone with zero airline experience. Doesn't sound like a great recipe to me, but I hope I'm wrong.
