Just because you may not like one or both does not mean that they are not qualified for the position. RC is a pilot advocate, the difference is he does not run around telling everyone he is. Watch his actions.
If you do not like em, provide the input.
BTW, yes, I have been gone a long time.

They were both great in the training department. Then they went to the CPO and suddenly turned into major jerks. RC stalks FOs (not captains) in the crew lounge and at the elevator and harasses them about having minor uniform issues (even though they're not in view of passengers). RC has issued several pilots suspensions over occurrences, and several have actually gotten last chance letters. That never used to happen, even when SH pushed them to do it, they refused. They have both become management tools. Both he and KS have been harassing pilots for fatigue calls lately too. KS had no people skills, he yells at everyone and it's intimidating. He stomps around the crew lounge barking at people. Oddly, FM is the best CP we have now, much more like FL was.
As I said, if you haven't been here lately, you don't know what you're talking about. They changed. It's even not what they do, it's their method. They are making the pilot group miserable and are off on a power trip.
