Its time for some unity within the pilot group if Deputy Ernie and then Bert are to be kicked out.
Suggestions (please feel free to add) to remove Deputy Ernie:
1) Do not answer any calls from him.
2) Do not respond to any of his emails.
3) No communications with him at all.
4) Let DW know your concerns about him and Bert.
ALL queries should be directed to DW thus by-passing the muppet show.
This way Berts workload will gradually increase. DW will realize that Ernie is truly a muppet and hopefully replace him/them.
