Roger M was certainly not everyones cup of tea I know, a maverick you might say! but he did set up the Airbus training programme at Midland almost single handedly. His watchword was always TRAINING, not checking - and to my mind was one of the most enlightened sim instructors I have ever met.
David O was brought in to the training team by RM as he obviously recognised a young enthusiastic talent who had a big future ahead of him.
If this rumour proves to be true, and it has not been officially announced at either bmi or easy as far as I know? then easy will have gained for itself a respected and enthusiastic pair of Airbus trainers. bmi being the big loser.
IMHO, of course.
Roger Miller.
