These things happen in business. Companies grow and the people who were so successful in a smaller organisation don't always fit in with the new owners or investors. It's not always a reflection on someone's character, morals or acumen if they're let go.
I don't know JB but from what I've heard he shares similar traits to many of the key personalities in the Australasian helicopter industry.

Could this be the end of top cover and special deals for 'the boys' who are masquerading as managers? A few of the hand picked lap dogs might be nervous.
It's always interesting watching the transition from a small business to a bigger one. Some people successfully make the transition and grow into their role, while many others never get their head around the fact that a corporate structure has different imperatives. Leadership styles that work in a small company often don't work in multi-national corporations, particularly when your success and promotion into a role may have been a result of the patronage shown by a previous manager or owner. When that patronage disappears, you're often left exposed like the proverbial shag on a rock.
Is this the sort of thing you're talking about Goggle Up?
