we agree.....again.....the statement I made regarding not being "pro-pilot" was in response to Mayday's thing of helping a pilot out of trouble when they had gotten themselves in trouble by (I ass-u-me-d) breaking the rules
I still say any management pilot that established a pattern of "covering for his bro's" or condoning bad behavior would, indeed, be shown the door?

we agree again......I, unfortunately, never met that person - but, it sounds like he was an example of what we would both like to see in the people management hires.
I also think this type of manager is a thing of the past here at FedEx - see my next statement below.

Unfortunately, this is where it breaks down....I would submit that is exactly how the "new regime" in FedEx upper-level management likes it/wants it to be - and they are not interested in hiring "guys with a different philosophy" - in fact, just the opposite.
The management guys from the past who were "pro-pilot" are all but gone and if they have been recently hired (by accident) and they are found to be more "pro-pilot" than desired......they will shortly be returned to the line
