I don't get that vibe from Captain Ellis.

I am surprised by your last sentence. My experience with Bo has always been supportive and positive. You can’t please everyone though.

I think he means Larry, not Bo. Both last names are Ellis

Fabian is everything a CP is supposed to be and more. When the office staff, who have been there forever, speak highly of him you know he is doing it right.

That helps. I only had only heard him referred to as “Larry” thanks for clearing that up!

Larry Ellis, not Bo.

Bo easily fits onto that list of pilot advocates.

Some Chief Pilots are not nice, and all I need to know about Larry is he fired Lin, the best employee United ever had.

You do realize HR legal fired her?

I’d like to know who turned her into Lawrence? Why would they not try and resolve it like adults without involving the company.

Devils advocate: what would you do if you were CP and said pilot said “FYI the company may be named in a lawsuit due to a wreck that involved a support rep” ?

Well I’d certainly do as much as I could to prevent anyone from losing their job. Which is exactly what said POS didn’t do.

How do you know he didn’t? I ask sincerely. I, like most, was curious about what went down and to this date are short on details. It details of how things went down seem to be a state secret.

All I have as a point of reference was Alma’s and Maria’s resolute defense of Lawrence up to the day they left. I’d imagine they knew him better than most of us casual observers of SFO ops.
