Whilst taking on the role he has is not something I would contemplate doing, what damage has he done? Any actual damage that has occurred that you can point to or is it all based on fear of what might happen? What would that damage look like?
If you have to ask that question then that is the problem. The new incumbent has already stated he wants to go beyond where NS is. I am sure the pilots do not want to give up any more conditions that have been fought for over the years to advance someone else's career.
