Jammers, you obviously don't know what you're talking about. Franz is not Chief Pilot at AirMalta, he's Group Head Flight Operations.
Regarding the "bully boy tactics" you mention, how far off the mark you are. True gentlemen such as Franz are few and far between. I know because I flew for KM for almost 8 years and had to deal with Franz both on the flight deck and in the office.
Finally you "look forward" to Franz's retirement "with glee". Frankly, so do I - the man deserves a good rest after all his hard work. I wish him many a warm bowl of soup at Bidni!
I do not intend on starting a new thread on Franz so I will not reply to any more stupid comments like Jammer's. Let all people who know the man make their own judgements and let's leave it at that.
