hello all, first post so forgive me if this all goes horribly wrong, and the internet explodes or something.
A couple or three points here as I know a few of the people who 'may' become involved.
1) In the current environment, should we not unite and support anyone’s proactive ventures ?
2) Giving 5K in return for a job is the most ludicrous selection procedure I have seen.... did anyone take the offer up ?
3) I wont name names (sorry, that’s for them to do) but the training manager that is currently in the frame is a gentleman of very high calibre - certainly any of you 146/RJ drivers out there will probably know of him - he has all the qualifications and more to fulfil this position. The only other 'firmish' position currently being filled is the guy responsible for preparing the Ops Manuals/Systems/Databases for AOC submission. Whilst relatively young, I know that he (rightly) commands enormous respect from all who come into contact with him – he taught me more about correct operation of the 146 over the phone one day than 5 years of flying the dam thing ever did. Brain on legs, common sense to-boot – bastard.
With the addition of a handful more like these two, proper funding, and a following wind I guess that this operation will have about as good a chance as any other of succeeding.
Come on guys, rally and support your industry - and those who have the balls to be proactive at this hellish time.
And for those mentioned in 3) Gimme a job ?
Regards, Aid.
