Latest news from Stan Sted: more mangement shake ups including; Tech Records chief, Quality Chief and easyTech Chief all being moved out of their jobs onto 'Special Projects'. (rumour has it that the 'project' is working out which way to turn the door handle on your way out). There is mass disbelief at easyTech as they are allegedly the only profitable line station and all staff (including boss) were given 100% personal bonus last month.
also yesterday a bad day for Airtours. CAA are camped at the Diamond and searching all records, paying particular attention to repairs carried out without supporting documentation, i.e IAW nothing. One such repair on an A320 cargo door has caused it to be grounded until done properly. Also an A330 had 30 hrs remaining to A check. Concession was asked for to carry until Weds, CAA said NO. Airtours then boarded pax, flew a/c to MAN, pax put into terminal, wait 9 hours while A check is done.
