Heard that Deputy Dawg, LK, will soon be opting to "return to the line", thanks for his great work, yadda, yadda, yadda....

Any others heard this?

Good news if true.

Except maybe for those who have to fly with him!

Nah... He's just being "refocused" to the line to fly DPs.

I just thought of something...

Is "O" trying to operate this outfit without an XO?

Madness!!

True. Some new ACPs soon.

The company already announced his replacement: JK: former ANC captain, now MEM-based captain and has or had something to do with the ALPA national Pilot Assistance committee (former committee chair, maybe??)

Is LK just no longer the ANC ACP, or is out of management all together? Great news either way!

I hope the FOs LK flys with give him the level of respect he has earned--NONE!

It is my pleasure to announce the selection of Captain Jeff Kilmer to the
position of International Regional Chief Pilot, effective 1 January 2010.

A 1984 graduate of the University of Florida, Jeff flew the E-2C, A-4 and
AV-8B while serving in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. A former Flex
Instructor in the Airbus, Captain Kilmer has extensive international
experience (MD11 Captain in ANC and MEM) as well as experience as the ALPA
Executive National Chairman of the Pilot Assistance Committee.

Captain Kilmer will be based in Memphis and assume administrative control
of our ANC, LAX and HKG domiciles as well as providing operational
assistance to the Director of Operations on related international issues.
Please join me in welcoming Captain Kilmer to this challenging position.

LK,

"Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee."

Good luck on the line.

Unfortunately, it will be a while before he leaves mgmt. They have to wait for the next new-hire class. It's been so long since he flew the line that he has to go through AOC/Line Ops orientation again. And I certainly don't want to stand in line behind him while he tries to figure out what body part to place on the fingerprint pad.
