Very sad.....
Mid 90's after LC and Manx joined it was the best it ever was, don't let the mists of time fool anyone ...there was a lot of unrest, poor management and lots of people left, IOM had some of the poorest crewing and ops people known to man...Norm, John and Keef would never win any prizes as good managers but Terry managed to keep it all going in the right direction..unfortunaltey crap begats crap .... Keef and Norm chose their disciples to follow and now we have Paul, Carl and Simon.....same style, same crap management just no Terry to keep it going.
I had a lot of time for Terry.... vision, style, business accumen..he knew people with all of them....only kidding, he was the man, the force, probably the only reason Bral became what it was.
He knew the limits of Brewitt, Anstead and Manktelow and worked round them, I don't for one minute think that he thought that PH,CP would ever take the rolls that they have now...maybe wrong on that one but...??? He thought NM would take his post, he was Terry's man, and what a man was too, the proof is that he was one of the first to go...He had some personal standards.
It's no use complaining any more, I think it's gone too far for that. Look around people..Easy,Ryan,Flyble,Globespan etc. etc......
Who do you blame? who cares, no-one is going to listen anymore...The game is up, some lucky? ones will get into BA proper, everyone else start looking elsewhere....
Would the last one out please put PH's lights out
