I fail to understand what it is about the ex JQ syd MFO you experts dont like. He seemed very reasonable in dealings with him. I feel he was getting frustrated at JQ trying to modify the culture there to reflect a more professional airline. It certainly needs a change. The f/o's have little respect for their cpts as they demand their cmd now. If only they new how management viewed this behaviour as not suitable for cmd. NM was a very good fleet manager in my opinion.
