Hi guys!
I know most of you Candidates on at least a “We’ve written together” level, and I believe you all to be good and fair folk. Thus, I wanted to throw out a hypothetical scenario and see if we can get into some the “stickier” situations that sometimes arise in the course of running a ship, or a fleet, or the club itself; and how you’d likely react to such situations.

Hypothetical Part A:
Johnny is CO of a ship. He dislikes his XO, Bob and decides to remove Bob from that position. Bob, doesn’t like this idea, of course, and complains to the Fcomm.

Hypothetical Part B:
It comes to light that Johnny hasn’t been the best CO and Bob has been doing all the admin work on the ship. In fact, some of Bob’s counter-complaints are very legitimate.

Please describe what the behind the scenes dialogue might look like from your position? Also, your reasoning behind whatever decision(s) you might make?
To your mind, what is the proper reason, and when is the proper time to remove a CO from command?

Thank you for your time.
-Dave
