In speaking with someone that was high up at GSW when Skinner came over, he didn't leave a very good impression upon people.

Probably because they didn’t like being told about a better way not just the wAAY.

I’d take not being held in high regard at GSW as a compliment. It’s your standard bureaucracy...

I’ve heard the same thing about him from several LUS pilots.

Skinner was the one who was “intercepted” shortly after jumping to the 330 because he NORDO’d through Italy’s airspace...there’s some REALLY nice pictures from the intercepting aircraft. He and his little trio, including Ed and Lyle, also tried to get a few West pilots fired (including me) because we were doing contract Airbus instructing on the side in “his” sims and he didn’t like it. He’s garbage.

Are you sure he was the one in Italian airspace? Because I have another name in my head.

Was the side job allowed by the contract and FOM?

I think we should still have fuel slips. There is a good article on Airbus Safety that agrees.

Finally got to do the flows on the line. For the A320 I don't think the changes are bad as the level of complaining would indicate.

After a month of doing them, I agree with you (except that origination flow.. it’s garbage and so far every Captain has briefed on first day that they’ll do their side/I’ll do mine). I will also agree that it seems like change for change sake and doesn’t seem to “add” anything to safety, but no one asked me or cares what I think so whatever
