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).

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.

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.
