How much more do we have to put up with from this fool who has to pontificate on anything to do with our business? The Guvnor is a Walter Mitty character who likes to hang out on the fringes of our business. He is a pilot groupie who pretends to be setting up an airline and gets easily led wannabes to support him because they have to grasp at any straws that may offer them the hope of a job.

This man is wanted by various organisations for debts and fraudulent attempts to raise money. Anyone with a connection to the Clydesdale Bank or American Express can find out about this mans background and those are just two companies that would dearly like to get him to sit down with them and explain why some of his attempts to raise money are apparently fraudulent. They may even pay a premium for an address on him.

The Guvnor has an opinion on everything to do with our business. I don't think so. He is good at using everyone elses opinions and then disguises them as his own version but he is nothing but a failed businessman who loves the sound of his own voice. He has absolutely no respect in this industry and apart from his own deluded belief that he has any importance does not deserve the effort of a response to his quotations.

Until he actually proves any of his qualifications, including the alleged degrees he makes claim to have then we should treat him as the pariah that he is and not dignify his pathetic existence with replies, one way or the other.

One of the latest attempts by this rogue to raise money was to set up a business where he was manging director and using his pre-adoptive name set himself up as company secretary, a highly illegal move. A lowlife that hangs around here and tries to pass himself off as someone we should listen to.

From this wannabee airline owner we now see how much regard he has for pilots with his grubby comments on backing the idea that the pilots have to lose their jobs when the aircraft are mothballed and any previous loyalty shown to a company for long service is not worth anything. A more digusting way to treat employees I have not seen and anyone who ever believed they would get a job from this low life had better take heed of these comments.

Considering a precedent was set in court after the ex Dan Air pilots took BA to court I would hope that the pilots at Virgin are not treated in such a callous way.
