Perhaps,the measures introduced were already in the "pipeline",before he joined??
Is he / was he ( Cpt S) not able to voice his opnion before the changes were published? He has been here long enough now to be able to speak up! Maybe he agrees with the changes? If so do you really think he will listen to reason?
I would like to know his opinion but somehow don't think I will ever get to hear what he really thinks.
Oh well that's emirates for you.
PS Sorry to hear that Shk Z has passed away.
