I’ve heard it from a source very, very close to the meeting in question that SR was indeed sacked. With regards to the outsourcing of training, (correct me if I’m wrong but) if AC and KG wanted to take such a course they could quite easily impose it without the say so or agreement of SR.
Interesting timing that NS just happened to leave her post in quick succession to SR. Could it be mere coincidence or is it indicative that there has been a huge manpower cock up (allegedly at least 400 pilots short at the mo) leading to heads rolling.
