But it was a nice try for your first post.
Think he's referring to Graham, who I thought came here as a buddy of old D.O. JC from NWA. As I am sure you remember, we had a rough time under JC.
Long time ago, I'm sure Graham is no longer associating with that sleezy guy.

Can someone give me a list of JC's crimes against the pilot group. I don't doubt anything but I just want to make sure I have a good list. I want to compare to the current 'team'.

Well of course he was referring to Graham, in a sleazy attempt to smear Graham. But I've come to expect that kind of politics.

For anyone that cares, Graham is one of the few people who "never met a man he didn't like". He's friends with everyone and has very few if any enemies. But now that he decided to step up and serve his fellow pilots, you can expect the smear campaign to step up and attempt to knock Graham down. Don't fall for the smear tactics.

James, Ryan, do you condone the campaign being run on your behalf?

Here is a list of some stuff. Some good, some bad. You be the judge as I am no fan of JC.

1. Allowed the MEC a formal seat on the new hire board.
2. Allowed the MEC a formal roll in the instructor review board. It was in the contract already just never enforced.
3. Three hour reserve call out
4. Issued a no reprisal letter to our ASAP program that never existed before.
5. Implemented SE Taxi
6. Formally allowed FOs to taxi from right seat with Captains permission
7. Added a warm up session to PCs
8. Allowed all pilots access to Miramar corporate side ( open door policy)
9. Did fire a few pilots
10. Did bring one back voluntarily without arbitration after a tail strike
11. Pay protected line pilots and removed from duty in home base when any management pilot flying
12. Allowed line pilots to fly delivery flights
13. Gave MEC use of an office in Miramar.
14. Physically moved crewpay to flight ops in an effort to resolve pay issues
15. Insisted that the chief pilots pay ALPA union dues from their CP pay.
16. Signed a LOA written my Matt Nowell giving us one of us the most liberal commuter policies in the industry.

Im sure I missed many.

JC? Wow, even forgot about that guy. When did he leave the VP/DO position here? 2008? 2009? Geez...Our former boss is long gone running another airline. Graham has no association to him today, and if he did, I don't think it would be anything related to Spirit Airlines or our workforce. But I get it, some are gonna try to make "guilty by long-time-ago-association-to-his-direct-boss" as an attack platform, huh? Classy...
