I would say that you could look in any Ofcs, Sgts, Capts, ACs, etc last 6 month's and find some type of issue with this. But your correct on calling a duck a duck and shielding many complaints that are bogus or nothing was wrong on how the call was handled. I don't think the Ofcs complaints were with you as much as a few captains. And it must really bother some frequent flyers that get called out in public. It really must weigh on them and hopefully helps them not fly again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-35073862350660237162008-09-21T22:22:00.000-05:002008-09-21T22:22:00.000-05:006:40-You have no idea how often I personally talk ...6:40-<BR/><BR/>You have no idea how often I personally talk to someone with a bogus complaint, and it goes no further.

When I read your posting my first thought was "good for you chief" my second thought was "Wow if that was me and the thief complained there would be a write up." Probably for being discourteous to a citizen but possibly for violating the all encompassing Mission Statement. I'm not complaining, I have deserved every write up I have gotten. Being human and all. I do think I know what the situation was with the NW officer. It was a stretch for a write up but we all have our own behinds to cover.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-27828992027927442942008-09-18T18:06:00.000-05:002008-09-18T18:06:00.000-05:00Aww yes the good ole.

I fail to see how my telling a multiple-convicted offender with a distinctive MO that I appreciate him not stealing stuff in Lincoln would be a problem. Nor do I see anything remotely inappropriate in the way I broke the bad news to the peddler permit applicant. Maybe I need to be sensitized.
