Flybyu, You have obviously been on a planet far far away for the last year or so, so I forgive you.
The new VPO and his team have finally given Etihad a chance at the future that this airline should always have had. They are a good bunch of people with nothing but the ultimate aim if making Etihad a true global player, with a reputation to match.
You mentioned that WB and his deputy had gone, was his deputy not HW, and he is still here.
GR was just a guy who was out of his depth swimming with the big fish, its a shame people have to lose their jobs, but for the benifit of Etihad its best in this perticular case.
How was it you would have liked EY to have handled the change, maybe sent out a ballot and we the troop could vote to power our new leaders? No really going to happen.
finally you also seem upset that they did not publish the two dearly departed's list of good things, if indeed they do publish this should they also publish all the bad and illegal stuff they (may!) have do too? I assume you dont want that list?
Maybe the "lack of class" is damming these people, as you seem to do, within 24 hours of there appointment, they deserve our full support, the only way was up.
To suggest its the same old same old strikes of someone who is badly informed.
