I was talking with a staff member yesterday and was led to believe that an FO had just completed his command training and was then handed a two (maybe three) year bond for a £8,000.
I understand that this is Ops Normal at the moment.
Don't know the new Ops Manager. I gathered that, when the SAABS came on stream, the CAA required a full time Ops Manager.
No comment was made on him other than 'he does things by the book.'
Sounds a trifle outrageous to me.
