How come everyone is baying for Stoddart`s blood? Understand that there are a lot of you now redundant, or uncertain about your future. Deal with it, it has happened to a lot of people before, me included, and will happen again..........remember this is a very volatile industry.

European has been flying for 10 years, the majority of which Stoddart was at the helm. The company developed well and expanded, giving you the option to join them as they expanded.

Both the 1-11`s and the B73`s were brought in favourably, the company was making money, and none of you lot were whinging about the boss then (apart from the fact that he was tight!) The very fact that a couple of years ago Stoddart was able to take out 5million in cash shows that the job was being done properly.

There has never been a whisper of any financial trouble until 12-18 months after Stoddart had to leave the helm as the new buyout syndicate thought it the best idea.

The person that took on that role has effectively driven the company into the ground and blown the cash through bad management, no logistical planning ability.......and god knows what else.

I dont work for the company and never have done directly, but cannot understand why you all want a piece of Stoddy, when he has fed and watered you for the past 10 years. IMHO you should change the snipers aim.

Rant over..........
