Sure, me too, even more so if they have been 'here' for much/all that time. Just wondering specifically what brings a looooongtime lurker out of the shadows, with 3 rapidfire posts on the same subject.

Here's what I do know. It would be political suicide to fire someone like SK without cause.

I’ve seen some eyebrow raising posts by him on the scheduling FB page lately, and I confirmed my suspicions by asking a rep.

Not under our system, in which DH is only accountable to the MEC and not the pilot group. Hypothetically, if SK stood up for an issue that was in the best interest of the pilot group, while stepping on the MEC’s toes in the process, then his firing wouldn’t be political suicide.

Word on the street(rumor so don't take as the gospel) is it's a similar situation to what got Scott Kirby kicked outta AA, extremely smart but abrasive to coworkers. If that's the case he still has a bright future just gotta work on the social skills/office CRM a bit
