The absolute IDIOT that's replacing him is the most incompetent useless d-ckhead in QR management! Talk about the devil-you-know. This clown (ideal member of the Laughter Factory) will make life on the 300/330/340 Fleet a monstrous joke! He was the same bozo that was kicked out of management a few years back and now his Daddy (2-I-C of Syria) has got him a job back in the office so he can continue the path of destruction he started when he was (laughingly, as his tech knowledge is zero) Chief Pilot Technical!
If you can't change fleets to the 777 where some sanity prevails, it's time to go!
