Could't wait long enough to earn the left seat I guess. How are we supposed to have any respect for flying with guys like this. It puts up barriers and builds divides in the cockpit and is detrimental to flight safety.
The FAA and NTSB just sit and watch as they keep getting bought off by big brown and purple, while everything generated out of their respective offices is just lip service to Safety.
What a joke!

In a sense, I feel sorry for this guy. He may be in the left seat, but he will never ever have respect from anyone he flies with(other than his Management buddies). Have fun buddy!! As I am sure you are reading this! May management cuts come to you very soon!

He did fly RJs at ASA, so maybe that counts for some credibility?

His decision to go to management is not only puzzling but indicative of a more serious problem that we as a union must overcome. This insidious cancer must be cut out, permanently.
While I despise (Yes Rick, Despise) people that walk on the backs of others as they climb the ladder, I think the very fact that he is in the airplane he will probably transition to at least makes the transition credible to the FAA, ( paid off anyway, so not that it matters) the other DB has never seen the inside of a 74.
His total time in the airframe is limited to riding in the back as a passenger. His total time all together is less than most of us had to get hired at our first credible job ( I've seen the resume ). IMHO, that's a REAL problem.
Anywhere else, never happen, workers paradise? Status quo....
Carry on.

Guys
This tool don't gave a rats a... to what u or I have to say about him here or the b@g that's why he did what he did so there's no reason to bash him as this was his sole decision and no one elses. No reason to ruin this beautiful Saturday discussing tool bags. Go play with ur kids and take your girlfriend or wife to dinner. His choice his life his destiny...period.

There is more to earning the left seat than just from seniority. Quality of past flight time is just as important. I am sure he will be a great representative of management at UPS. The line pilots have such a narrow view of the world most of the time.

You were one of the WORST management pilots I flew with (and that's saying a lot), so what's your excuse?

And then there is UPS.
Passing the check ride / IOE earns you the opportunity to stay there but getting there is supposed to be ALL about seniority.
If that wasn't the case then merit would apply and then be bastardized like any other human endeavor. Who you know and who you blow would matter more than ability in the long run.
I guess that's why you were there. Know or Blow?
