It is basically a Caveat Emptor warning to Geoff Dixon.
There is a bunch of ex-AN Management pilots out there at a cheap price. But you get what you pay for! Why not pay a bit more and lure Australian expertise out of world leading Airbus operators? Why employ a failed management team?
Good point. There were two generations of AN flight management. Both failed miserably.
Although I wish all well, I was not at all impressed with the poor leadership, lack of compassion, poor communication and morale sapping cronyism of former AN Flt Managers.
Airbus evolution at AN? Could list many examples but was fun to fly a FBW airliner like a DC3. Final FCOM introduction was Risky Shift mentality by management and a Gun To The Head induction on the line.
On your last paragraph my name is Rupid and not Stupid!
But I must add I carefully aspired to an airline where I would never again be affected by former AN Management.
In my time at AN I was guilty of never visiting the Flt Management
office. Too hard to find a seat anyway I here! F/O's abound-especially in the Airbus offices.
