Why do you keep referring to him as the chief pilot? The new chief pilot has been on the seniority list for 30+ years. I thought we were talking about someone else.

Tony you are lying I won’t even bother to look up your whine but you blamed the Contract for your lack of a sleep room/hotel. In fact since there were not enough sleep rooms the contractual change you blamed was not in effect. And the sleep room “concession” actually requires more sleep rooms, which in fact, they are building.

Whining to sniveling. Nothing you posted would have prevented the chief pilot from getting hired.

He is the VP of Flight Ops, not the Chief Pilot.

I know. I visited Cindy Sartain's office.

She barely looked away from her computer screen to even acknowledge my presence.

No surprise, really. She left her paralegal job from The Company's "Negotiating Team" to take the recruiting job. The pilot recruiter is anything but a pilot friend.

Good for you, if you want to debate the arbitrary and flexible nature of the hiring process I’m with you. But the minimums are what I posted. Have you asked what they count as recency of experience? Do FDX pros have to go out and rent a 76? Have you asked the VP of flight ops when was his last landing? Was there a deal made with the company when he was awarded his FDX employee number? That would certainly be just as legally and morally binding as whatever arbitrary recency of experience test they have.

Edit: So what is the recency of experience requirement? Six weeks, six months, or six years? Or is it a flexible number based on the applicant’s background?

Good point. Invalidates nothing from my comment.

Well of course the Supreme Leader can do anything, he is a God.

I think the company should mandate that we have to get his super cool haircut.

So since we’ve gotten to talking titles, can someone explain to me the difference of our SVP of flight ops and the VP of flight ops? Seems there might be some redundancy here...
