If those are the kind of things going on, then that's something that needs to be brought to the attention of professional standards followed by a chief pilot if there is no resolution. Otherwise, it sounds like rumor or conjecture.
I am not here to defend anyone running afoul of regulations or sound decision making, but from what I have seen of him, BG did it all above board and let everyone see what he is up to. Granted, picking up open time during pickets and lobbing hand grenades in the forum don't really endear me to him, but I had no issue with his flying and revenue generating game. I admire anyone using this job to print money, and he was a champion at it. Not really my thing, but it was good to be able to pull up his board and see how someone with a little seniority and a lot of determination could make a killing here.
