Abra,
Your first post may have some credibility until you read your second .Do you honestly think the CAA wouldnt be informed of a change of post holder. Shows a distinct immaturity or ignorance of how the regulatory system or the industry operates.
Now back to your first post, maybe as you say avion have a vested interest until 2008., or maybe its a maneuvere to avoid regulatory problems with the size and scope of avion interests in the eu. But then Im speculating as are you.
Poor morale? amongst some, dare I say the usual suspects. The core workforce ( no movement despite a bouyant market) is pretty happy.Lots of issues with the merger, and a previous culture of temp pilots with all the problems of loyalty that brings,but it will settle down as the chaps mentioned above move on to moan at another company. To harp on about how things should be done and how at xxxxxairways it was much better..etc etc...ad nauseum.
Same Sh1t different depth.
