A number of senior trainers were incensed by the aggressive attitude of one manager in particular who had been a colleague less than six months ago.
This is the very nub of where industrial relations fall apart. I just amazes me how some pilots are prepared to cut their former colleagues up to get a leg up the management rung. A 'friend' of mine has been angling for a management post for years. When I put it to him that he would need to cut his friends up to get on he repeatedly changed the subject. The git new what I was talking about and I knew that he knew it.
