I just find it amusing that this guy was able to pass the Hogan with his narcissistic characteristics.

 

I haven't bothered to look, but a 2006 hire I believe? May have been an L-CAL hire and no HPI.

Not like it matters, oddballs (like me) get through it, better guys than me don't. Just like the psyche eval at DAL, etc.

 

I passed the Hogan and I am a psychopath. It’s easy.

 

You are completely off base. Everything that you say might be true for those who know him personally. In fact, I know people who know him personally and they agree with your assessment of him.

Most of us will never know him in the way that you do. We will only know the online persona that HE CHOOSES to create. We only know the way HE CHOOSES to represent our profession. If the garbage on his social media is not who he really is, that is 100% his doing.

He chose this and we as peers and professionals are absolutely entitled to our opinions on the matter. Nobody made him put that crap out there. He looks like an idiot and it is an embarrassment for all of us.

That sir, is the "weak, weak, schitt."

 

I swear to god I’m sitting next to him a bar at this very moment and he is actively blocking people on Instagram.
I’m 100% serious.
I won’t name the hotel/location for security reasons. But I’m not joking.

 

He and others like him attend UAL "influencer" events and training. He has posted at Aviate which was certainly done at the behest of the company. Whether he is being paid by them or is just getting perks and privileges, it is extra-contractual work that is based on his PILOT position. That's a non-starter for actual union members.

What happens down the road if anyone ever gets a spine about contract negotiations? Will he be posting videos "on behalf of the pilots" (and actually on the orders of the company) apologizing for job actions?

The conflicts of interest here are obvious and totally avoidable.

His newest post is inside info on aircraft crew rest accommodations. Maybe next week he can show everyone how the cockpit door operates. Security anyone?

It's probably time for ALPA to update professional ethics for the times. Maybe professional standards should have a word with him about his activity - and his haircut for that matter.

 

Are you even able to enjoy your drink under the crush of his fans?

I dare you to go to the bathroom then come tell him you dropped your phone in the toilet and need his assistance.

 

you sound like a teenager with your gossip

 

Wasn’t the KLM PIC in the Tenerife accident their Chief Pilot who was featured in advertisements?

This is kind of how the industry rolls…it seems to celebrate dangerous people.

 

You sound like a teenager with your lack of capitalization or punctuation.
