He is not the chief pilot. RN is the CP for 119 purposes.

A base CP doesn’t have to be an active pilot. They could go out and name a bucket of used lav juice the new CP and the FAA wouldn’t care. RN is the “chief pilot” for the 119 certificate and he’s the only one of that counts.

Used to be a CP had to be a qualified line pilot on one of the aircraft in the base you were cp of. You also could not get junior manned as long as the chief pilot was available ( In the office ). But I regress thats when we ( I ) was represented by apa and not alpo (alpa).

Gross. I'd rather deal with RN 9/10, at least he gives the pilot the benefit of the doubt or takes intent into consideration sometimes.

It's a pretty sad cautionary tale actually. I use to fly with lifers on the WSCOD that got their type ratings from MR back in the day, they said he was a good guy. Something's changed since then, to say the least.

pshhhhhh. If I remember correctly, when they reopened NYC, RF wasn’t even a Capt. Let alone he was on a different fleet that was no longer there.

Correct, RF was a CRJ FO when he first started as CP when LGA reopened with 145’s, then upgraded on the 145 while there.

Honestly he was okay to deal with from a contract grievance/rep perspective compared to other CP’s at the time.

Same folks in management positions as under the old AMR.... nothing has changed, if anything it’s gotten worse under RW.
