We had good capital and good people
that much is true .......the key word being "had"!!!!!
clearly millions and millions have been squandered with no evidence of any return apart from the pursuit of some grandiose dream from a man who admits he knew nothing about the industry....Lesson number one being that it is a service industry built on attentive and competent personal and individual relationships.....not mega corporation style branding and centralisation.
The good people all left and those of ability who replaced them ( who bought into Hansens rhetoric) are also going or have already gone. Ask anyone what they particularly did not like and , on a local level, one man's name comes up every time......
its a measure of how out of control the whole enterprise is that this man is still able to work his extraordinary personal agenda with seeming impunity...and with such devastating consequences to the company's ability to attract and retain good pilots cc and ops staff.
