Interesting post, Buster, where was it puiblished ?
It doesn't say a lot, but it's interesting to hear something from someone in authority, rather than the prattles of a recently recruited cabin crew member.
Heres the bit I found most interesting:-
Before we begin operating, we will ensure that we have all the necessary regulatory approvals in place. This does take time but we feel that gaining our full licences at the outset will demonstrate to customers and partners alike that we have high standards and long-term ambitions.
Does the Chief Executive ( is he still interim, by the way) really mean that there is option of operating WITHOUT all the necessary regulatory approvals? So surely this is not news, it could just as easily have been written by the CAA ( " NOW will only commence operations when they have received the necessary regulatory approvals). It's hardly a demonstration of standards or ambitions, just a statement of fact. AN AOC fee to the CAA is about £18K, it would cost about £200 to update the website.
With regard to the other individuals, if they get their act together, NOW will certainly have one of the best Traininers in the business. Easy deserved to lose him by the way they treated him. As for a President of Flight Operations this made me laugh out loud. Definately sounds like someone on a massive ego trip.

So nothing really newsworthy, but good to see one in the know at least say SOMETHING.
