Making suggestions as to how to improve it is way beyond my current position on the learning curve. The problem for most is trying to digest it on the fly, so to speak!!
The implementation process was something like being told one month out that we would change. Two weeks out, a copy of the layout with little explanitory details was emailed to all, coupled with "selected" flts being given copies of new and old plans. Come the 1st Jan, Bingo, new flt planning room rearrangement (deckchairs on Titanics?), new cathay dispatch staff, new flight plan, off you go boys, don't forget to fill in all the required boxes!!!
As change management goes, this was the most abysmal i've seen. Some parts of the fuel build up are changes to, or not covered in our Vol 8 fuel policy.
I have no problems with change, Rodos was a simplistic joke, but the way this change was done shot a ****e load of holes in a large block of swiss cheese.
(Sorry if this is dupicated, blame the undersea cable thingie)
