Red face Crew Management

Surely the DFO should put a stop to that kind of reckless behaviour. Staff problems start at the top and work there way down.
I have followed this post with interest, know the previous ( or previous previous ?) Chief Pilot so I am keen for these guys to do well. I think Orgasmotron has hit onto a very relevent point. I know the DFO is or was a shareholder and the Chief Pilot is surely a senior manager. Surely with this representation the crew should not be s d around the way they seem to be. It seems wrong that the bean counters are able to do what they are accused of if the crew management supports the crew.

I would love to see this resolved, I know some of the first guys used to really enjoy it there. It seemed like a good place to be with some good prospects.Be a pity for the upstairs guys to be able to ruin it.
