I don't really want to start yet another E/W turf war, but I bumped into three people this week who told me about various instances where airplanes were left in a questionable state by West crews. One was greased up (seats, headsets etc.), another one had switches placed in questionable settings, another one had the heat turned up to max. Seriously? Anybody else had surprises like this?
Can't we all just get along?

Regardless of East or West, if any of this is true, it's shockingly and disappointingly unprofessional.

A lot of ASAP reports are being filed.
Prof standards and the chief pilots are tracking crew of reported aircraft to identify trends among flight crew.
Overall, I think West pilots may be alienating themselves from new hires.

As for the "sabotaging" of aircraft- completely unacceptable. Hope whomever is doing this, regardless of side, is canned immediately. No room or patience for that kind of garbage.
