Heard Rick Barr was in ANC to fire a FO today. Apparently the CP wanted to give him a chance and upper level manglers wanted this guy gone. Apparently he was trying to sit reserve in So Cal, other issues too. Anybody have more intel on this?

Last time I heard someone was being let go I believe it had to do with a failed alco- or a drug test - not sure which. ...and that was a pretty senior captain, not an fo.I agree with ToStayOrGo (PS. don't stay of you're senior to me
) - there might be much more to this story... Hope the union and the company will work together on this one...

I heard they fired a Capt a few weeks ago for calling in sick from the airplane at pushback time --on the sat phone no less. I'm sure there's some truth in that crazy statement somewhere...

PS. Not making fun of the circumstances of this particular case - simply know nothing about it.
