He even said they were discussing it that day. Who knows, maybe it goes nowhere but that’s what he said. I know why people like it, it offers amazing trip bidding power with trading and board stacking.
We shall see, it effects me very little either way the ball rolls. Don’t kill the messenger.
Ih and sorry about misquoting you. You are correct you didn’t use the word transition but you did say it would make you a better pilot in both seats. The act of moving from one seat to the other is a transition.
Well then I apologize since you heard it first hand, but if that's his reason it's a stupid one and completely flies in the face of logic. Much like everything I have ever heard in leadership classes and training briefs, it is completely false. Most of our Lance captains can hold captain in the base of their choice and they fly with more senior first officers since they punch above their seniority weight.
He has proven to be every bit as inspiring and effective in that job as a wet sock. I suspect he will climb the ladder quite nicely into a cushy SVP position.
I have no personal stake in it either way. My time is wrapping up. I just want it preserved for the next generation so that they can enjoy it as much as I have, but that has always been a weakness of mine. I don't mind someone else getting a good deal.
