Well, I know that different people have different opinions about the same people.
However, a guy who has retired after 35 years of service with a company deserves his gold watch and a little bit of recognition. During my encounters with Capt. Mansell, I've found him to be approachable and friendly. He managed one of the most sensible recruiting programs that I have experienced as a professional pilot, quite in contrast to that of another well known Asian airline to which an entire Forum seems to be dedicated to at this website.
However, there everyone is entitled to their opinion, just as there are people who like me and who dislike me too.
