BF, a bit insulting don't you think.
The F/O in question has been treated apallingly, I think this is the 3rd time he's been pulled off his upgrade training. The chap is not a "strange character", but a competent pilot who deserves a command. God knows we need a few more captains at the moment, especially those that know the routes and peculiarities of Emerald Operations. Those coming from elsewhere seem to last approximately 2 weeks on-line and then realise what a shower of s**t (copyright Dada) it is before disappearing again.
I would have thought, that the basing and upgrading of crews is down to the fleet managers and flight ops people, NOT a non-flying CEO. (What an idiotic title, where are we Dallas?) But as per-usual, the teddies get chucked out of the pram since highly competent people have dared to make a decision that the MOBster hasn't come up with himself.
If I was GG or RM, I'd be spitting chips........ (Over to you gentlemen.)
