I have heard he had at least 1 P56 violation.

I know for a fact that when he was the chief pilot at Freedom, my friend’s wife needed cancer surgery. RG was the chief. My friend needed the day off. Scheduling said to talk to the chief pilot. He called RG multiple times, left multiple messages, never got a callback.

Sounds like RG is an awesome guy... plus our experience with the guy. 767 captain, yeah right.

About the 767 captain thing. I noted that in his memo on evolving flight operations leadership, our top flight ops guy says something to the effect that RG will be missed in flight ops and to look forward to seeing him on one of his "76ER trips." Just because leadership has out of seniority privileges, doesn't mean exercising them is a good idea. I'd be surprised if it's good times for anybody in the cockpit, let alone prudent and the highest level of safety. Just sayin'.

Given a couple things BS (the VP) said in the Training town hall (which seemed innocuous at the time) I wonder if it’s him?
I think they mentioned PB being involved with that

Yes, in the Town Hall yesterday, JL straight up said PB is taking over as the head negotiator.

Every trip he flies is with a LCP so that's at least one pilot being bought off. All legal per the PWA. IMO, all other feelings/emotions are not worth the heartburn because it's out of our control. Delta Management can assign any ADM pilot to any category and position provided they buy off the pilot(s) who hold the trip

Why did you ask if you knew?

There was a three-day gap from when he asked to answered.

He mentioned the townhall that occurred in that timeframe as providing the answer...

I didn’t. Perhaps a case of the written word on a forum losing tone. As I said, it was a genuine question, which they happened to answer a couple of days later. Like you (apparently), I had also seen them mention it in the Town Hall, and was (trying to) affirm & add context.

Well, OK. But their are no points for adding context, knowledge, flavor or humor. Someone must be giving out points for needlessly calling fellow pilots out, ridicule, or baseless accusation. The trick is finding out who redeems these points.

The predecessor drove his Aston Martin to a meeting demanding pay concessions from pilots. That followed the usual trajectory of those who are "big hat, no cattle." In due course Capt. Kolshak decided to "spend more time with his family."

Then, when he got another job ALPA reported the news, observing, "apparently his family got tired of him too and he now works for United."
