SL, aka the Santi-Christ, is truly the most EVIL, MORALLY BANKRUPT, and TRULY STUPID individual I have ever met in my four decades on Earth.
This man appeared at Airlink as part of a FSI "zero to hero" trial program with a little over 300 hours. He has *NO* real-world pilot experience.
His wife cleaned him out in the 90's when he was caught diddling the help. Left him with nothing but the clothes on his back and that stupid pickup.
Fired as Chief Pilot for taking too much joy in firing pilots and discussing the details publicly (costing Airlink $$$ in settlements)
Fired as head of the CEC for selling pre-paid sim time to CMR for pennies on the dollar in 2001 and then causing a massive training logjam.
Removed from check and training duties because, well, we all know why.
Salvaged from obscurity as a paper-legal Part 119 Chief Pilot since the person they hired for the position did not have the minimum experience.
Has basically turned to sh!t everything his greasy hands have ever touched. Not loved by PT or the board. Not likely a strong candidate for VP FO.

Imagine the beatings the FAs are gonna get if they call in sick or fatigued in July. Anyone check the reserve coverage for them yet? It's pretty laughable. Sick call in MEM? Guess they'll be DHing a FA from DTW or MSP.....

You guys have 7 day off reserve lines?
FWIW, when NJA was putting me on Pinnacle flights, it was always single engine taxi, APU off until just before push, APU shutdown after 2nd motor running, single engine back into the gate after landing (as evidenced by all of us sweating back there). I even asked one of the captains about the "negotiations", he voiced his disgust about it, but his aircraft operation said otherwise.
I sincerely hope you guys get what you're worth, but you're going to have to fight for it.
