If I have it correct, he's the newest flight manager. They couldn't attract anybody from outside or a captain, so they gave the job to DC, an FO who had about a year on property. Pretty much a giant toolbag. He couldn't understand why I was quitting when I handed him my two week notice.

No. Please don't be true. I can't go back to work. I was just getting good at Call of Duty 4. But just in case...where did this rumour come from? And I admire all the other former waterskiers who have begun working on another career...I, on the other hand, have planned absolutely zero for the future.

As stated DG and DC are two different people. DC was a former training department man who had a reputation for being difficult. DG is still a flight manager, has been in that position for over a year now, got the spot as a FO, upgraded to CA while he was there. But, although his seniority shouldn't allow him to stay a CA, he's allowed to fly from the left seat until he leaves the office....Combine that, with 95 hr/ Guarentee, and being home every night, he's got a nice spot...Just has to deal with a lot of pilots on property hating him .

Hey navy, heard you're heading off to greener pastures. You already gone or still in the process? Either way, good luck and enjoy being out from under the heavy hand of Hulas.

I have also heard we are getting 15 additional airplanes but that is contingent upon Howard Hughes bringing back TWA

Had the whole DC thing explained to me today...apparently, what he has, the line 9000 or whatever w/16 days off is totally legal..bunch of BS I know...but still legal.
Per the contract...management retains 4% of the flying per quarter or month, I can't remember which. Since he's still technically in the "training department" they stocked his line with leftovers from that 4% held back (amazing how it's the same 2-day the whole month) and that's how he has what he has. It's not technically a build-up line...nor hard line. We can't even grieve it so that all the FOs junior to him get paid what he's getting paid...total BS.
Sidenote...anyone see all the action going on the UAL side today in STL...something about "a bah....not not a bah...a bo**..."

Therefore, Eagle gets their 10 airplanes back, and we loose pilots.
