He should not be allowed
I have had the displeasure of flying with this capt a few times. Whilst yes, he's a very nice person, he made it abundantly clear to me and the others in the cockpit that he wasn't part of the AOA because he 1) thought they were toothless 2) thought it was a waste of money 3) stated that he will get the new fought for contract without putting his neck on the line.
Furthermore, he made it known that he applied a few times for training whilst the training ban was on. He said he didn't get in the first time, but knew they were desperate and reapplied under the assumption that he'll get in due to the lack of applicants. He did not however.
This guy, as nice as he is, is a snake and has had no issue undermining and under cutting his fellow pilots for his own personal gain.
I say tell him to stay in LV and fight his own battles. He's not willing to help us, we should not be willing to bail him out now he's up sh*t creek without a paddle.
