I fail to see why the CEO should be under threat at all. He was instructed to implement policy formulated by the Board and did so.
Bernie is a board member... Bernie allegedly ignored the advice of the HATC and 'guaranteed the sign off process' after the HATC said he wouldn't sign it, allegedly...
Bernie has continually abused his staff, their union and backed the safety credentials of the NAS, despite having clear advice that it was less safe and more costly.
Bernie must go, he has no credibility; he should have said no, he didn't because he might be sacked, now he'll be sacked (or resign) anyway.
Was it just me that saw Bernie getting his contract extension done whilst this project was at the pressure point; one wonders if he did a secret deal?
