Is Captain "0" really flying "DPs to check "them" out?

They might fly some of the one day trips. I doubt any of them will fly the week long dp. Besides doing one by its lonesome doesnt really duplicate what the line dog experiences, which is dps strung together or dp put with a week full of flying. I can endure almost anything for 24 hours.

Since we all know OR lurks on here, maybe he'll respond to this query by either opening up his calendar for viewing or talk in one of his famous emails specifically about ANY DP he's flown since he took over as SCP. If he doesn't do either one, then I fall squarely in the camp that he has intentionally lied to the entire crew force about his efforts to improve the DP process. Remember, he stated he, SJ and his Airbus ACP have already flown questionable DPs. According to the Airbus ACPs calendar, he hasn't flown ONE DP since he got hired. If OR unblocked his calendar, this question would disappear.

I'm glad he's addressing the issue.
He could just act like it's not there and everything is fine.
The more light that gets shined on this issue, hopefully the more crew members will hear about it and get behind the SIG.
Houston is close to the end of his rope. He's promised to "open up" the offense the last 3 years and we've been 108th, 108th and 110th in passing. Saying it and doing it are 2 different things. It's time for Houston to seek opportunities elsewhere.

If the SCP wants to add some credibility back to his position then let the union choose the trips that he and his ACP's fly. The SIG folks would probably have some pretty good trips for them to fly.

OK....let me make this crystal clear....I'm calling OR a bold-faced liar. He said he and SJ have already begun flying DPs. If they can't fly them....he says he has his ACPs fly them. A quick perusal of the ACP calendars that aren't blocked proves that they only fly PM out-and-backs. If our SCP lies about his efforts to validate/regulate/QA check DPs to the entire crew force....what else is he lying about??? He has ZERO credibility in my book.....but I'm only one of 4800.

I'm confused. If O is an A300 Captain, the A300 had no disputed pairings in Sep or Oct, and the Nov bidmonth has not started, how could he or the A300 ACP have already flown DPs, and why would you expect to find a DP on their schedules? Unless you expect O to have Rick Toms start bumping all the DP flying Boeing Capts off those trips, it won't happen on the Jurassic jet.
Might you be going a little overboard, or perhaps handling things a little "hamfisted?"

Nope. What I expect is for the SCP to tell the truth in any formal communication to the crewforce. He clearly stated that he has already flown DPs to validate the process. He hasn't done that. He also said his ACPs fly them....they don't. I didn't put those words in his mouth. What about him lying to the crew force doesn't upset you??!! There weren't ANY DPs since he took over as ACP on the Bus???
