Good work John.

Now CX corporate comms will get a call from London to say that they need to do an, "Under Lion Rock", anodyne woffle to rebuff your "Syd's Pirates."

I am sure there are some superannuated failing authors who would be delighted to write and prostitute themselves to produce the CX version of what they want the world to think happened.

Anyway I'll buy a copy for the coffee table to educate those who were not there.

Pip Pip!

Congratulations John. I have just ordered the book. There should be at LEAST 2700 of these sold. Please everyone, spend just a few dollars and buy the book. The principle is important. I look forward to reading it. Best wishes.

Since I'm on the cover, Captain Warham should send me a copy free of charge

How about sending the current CEO of Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority a free copy?

Come to think of it, ALL Star Chamber members should be sent one!

My aviation memoirs will be released this year ...

"Call Sign Gimp" Tales of a frustrated sky god in Asia.

There will be a photo and book signing opportunity for those interested, we expect to hold this event outside my favorite sauna in Kowloon.

Star Chamber offenders will be allocated a free copy as a sign of gratitude, for all their support over the years.

Call Sign Gimp

Top news Toss.
Could we perhaps see some selected excerpts to whet our appetites?
Which of your favourite charities will benefit from the proceeds?

No Rex ...

But what you will see this year is an expose of "PH" ..Dragon Air (CP), the prick who's been threatening the boys for "alleged" misdemeanors and sacking guys at whim.

Bye Bye "PH"

Indeed Toss.

It is alleged on another thread that HSBC senior management are highlighting CX as an example of how not to run a large company.

Director Drivel seems to have a really thought provoking first post. Guilt I guess.

Ordered my copy, hope it helps towards costs.

Well I hope it's a better read than Chick Eather's "Syd's Pirate's". There is an other one in the pipe line by Len Cowper, warts and all.

The fact it WAS his first post should tell you something. Quite pathetic for a management mole..... I predict the book will sell well, as it should.

Director Fury,

The very same publisher's website has a book just for you:
'Lunacy in a Nutshell' by Benjamin Walker
A detailed A-Z of madness for hypochondriacs and other neurotics
See here:
Lunacy in a Nutshell :: Science & Nature :: Non-Fiction :: Book Guild Publishing Ltd

Fill your boots!

Regardless of which side of the fence you are on, be reasonable, if this book sells more than about 3500 copies it will have done well.

It'll need to sell about 500,000 copies to recoup the losses the inept judge just stole from them.... Good luck guys.
