Yes BM is now the CP.
Quote from BM - "a 210 can easily fly 50kg+ overweight"
I give it 12 months till some new pilot with 200 hours is pressured into taking off overweight, or something equally stupid, and goes through the trees at the end of the runway.
Lets all hope its an Oombi freight run and not an Airvan full of Bunglers.
Another overheard in the office - "load it up, the Partenavia can take 50kg overweight, its a twin, the second engine will drag her into the air"
Another - "everyone has to set a personal limit, mine is about 100 to 150kg overweight" referring to the Airvan.
PG was bought in to bring the company back into line and undo the damage done by PW. The whole time he was there he was undermined by BM and the A-team, getting little support from CM and GM. In the end, another good pilot, like many before him, walks out.
Quote from GM "why do we have such a high pilot turnover?"
There are many good pilots and staff at Alligator. But the company is being run by owners that simply turn a blind eye to the problems. They have been made aware of them (so has CASA) on many occasions, there are no more excuses, you are dealing with peoples lives.
It will probably take a fatal crash for any changes to happen.
