The 757 and 767 are common type ratings. Any fDAL guy coming to him with a technical debate would find him extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the common type.
The 744 is not a common type. The A330 is not a common type. The 777 is not a common type. Yet MD is the chief even though he's never flown the 744 or the A330.
All I am saying is that it is frustrating to put forth fixes to produce positive changes to operational procedures - to a guy who has never flown the airplane. Not trying to stir the pot, it just doesn't make sense. I think if our numbers continue to be as bad as they are, upper management's attention will be grabbed by the deteriorating trends. That could mean positive change.
