Is this the poor guy who did a couple of days of command training, then came up to MOB central for a tech refresher course on the shed, only to be told that he now didn't have enough hours to go in the left hand seat?
If so he's a strange character but still it's no way to treat someone.
A wild shot in the dark...but I'd guess no-one asked for the almighty MOB's approval before upgrading this guy to the lefthand seat. So therefore he's reversed the decision thus making the flight ops director/Shorts fleet manager etc, look like idiots. I hear the MOB likes to be consulted on everything, hence the recent delay in changing the lightbulb in the CVT toilet.
Either that or the guy wasn't up to the task, however flying a shed isn't exactly rocket science.
