Mike Street is the Director who is dealing with the pay negotiations that have now stalled and it looks as if a strike is likely. He has wide experience of messing things up. He handled the takover of Dan Air into EOG.
He doesn't have much time for people or for fairness. For example the Dan Air seniority list was ignored during the pilot redundancies in 1992 - only those flying B737-3/400 were reatained on the payroll, all other fleet pilots were made redundant despite a written company/union agreement for first in last out. Those that were 'lucky' and retained were given a 10% pay cut. It took years to sort out the mess - court action, union action etc.
