I watched the taking of the deposition of a GJ VP of Operations regarding the GJ pilot contract.

I found him to not be very bright but he seemed to believe that he was the world's most intellectual pilot. He started off poorly by restating his previous lies that had been proven to be lies by his own emails. The GJ lawyer had to stop the deposition and bring him out of the room and spend 20 minutes reminding him that everyone knew those things were lies. He then came back to correct his statements with new lies. I believe they had spent 2 hours and 45 minutes the day before coming up with new ways to explain his actions, but it didn't seem to help him out.

In his testimony he stated that he did not care what the pilot contract said because he had a responsibility to do what he felt was safe. He went on to say that he did not care about determinations of the FAA Aerospace Medical Certification Division because he was better equipped to make medical determinations about pilots he had never met than the FAA or FAA doctors having done actual medical tests. If someone pointed to the pilot contract, he solution was to just fire the pilot.

The pilots at GJ put up with a lot of crap that no pilot should have to.
