He's one of those guys that wants to prove that he knows more about every subject than everyone else.

For example, I got a lecture on how when we call out runway/dep/first fix that calling the runway "27L inside and outside" is not in the book and not valid. "Verified" is the only appropriate callout since that's what is in the book.

"But... it's in lower case letters... that's an action, not a callout. You're trying to make this into SOPA/SMAC. It's not. How you verify it is up to you, as long as you are verifying that you're in the right place and the runway is in the box."

"ITS NOT IN THE BOOK. YOU SAY VERIFIED."

It was like that for literally everything. As I'm sitting over there like:

Then he lectured the flight attendants for 20 minutes after the flight on why they are going to unionize and everything that Delta does is stupid. I was glad he moved on to them. :)

Yeah, Foret was the CFO, or whatever they called him, at EAL from the takeover to bankruptcy.

Another name is Bruce Hicks, former PR guy for Frank Lorenzo. His website, Alliant Group, mentions that he's consulted with DL mgt on contract negotiations. Also, Joe "Forklift Jie" Leonard, famous for his DC-10 engine work at AA, was President. If you see these guys, run.

GF

We really need a decision tree chart to detail Frank Lorenzo's disciples and then all the lines end with the word RUN.
