Keg,
You might find a former AIPA president has an even slightly higher position in sight. Just a wisper but as you said he does get on well with the boss.
338C, Nope the LOSA report was not damaging to the 737 fleet. Some deficiencies were identified and are now being fixed - part of the companies QA process. This is a constructive process. To not look at one's naval would be damaging.
I wonder when we may hear the LOSA result of the countries other 737 operator?
