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.

Bull****.

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