I pity you!
Thanks for the update. It looks like you are working for a bunch of ignorant half-wits who cannot and must not be trusted. I also fully agree with you that idiots like your chief will create a vast chasm between the office and line pilots. Incidents like this will prevent them from ever improving their workforce's abilities because they have broken the trust that has to exist between the two sides for this to occur. A few more smoking holes I'm afraid.
