Mesa had a chief pilot who was an FO on a DIFFERENT TYPE - not even holding a type rating on the type. Those days are over but it happened. Sometimes nobody wants the Job.

I know several that wanted the job, one of them a local guy with lots of time on property. Thank god that didn’t happen, would have been a terrible choice. This could also be a placeholder/acting chief scenario until MSP gets who they want.

Could be. I just don't see how having a FO as CP is a good idea for anyone.

Ideally, you want someone who has had the experience of decision making as a captain, so the can understand the thought process better.

Turns out not a place holder, sporting a captains hat in the latest FOU. The hat is too big... not sure why that’s a thing with CPs.
