Londonmet,
The 757/767 fleet is rapidly going down the pan and crew morale with it. There are two airlines within XL. The original good ol' boys from Sabre(genuflect genuflect)and the cowboy lowlife from Air Atlanta Icelandic and Europe(ie the 757,767 and 747 fleets). There has been little attempt at integration since the two were merged. XL management are a cadre of Sabre/Excel Originals. As far as they are concerned they are the truth and the light and all others are worthless. The 757s and 767s are believed to be going within the next year to 18 months, I say 'believed' because the whole place is run on rumour as the management don't believe in communication and the little that does escape from the CEO's pen seems to emanate from one who is almost childishly illiterate.) Most 757 767 crew members wouldn't know who their bosses were or what they looked like. The future is so stark, most people are in the process of Zooming off. The whole tone of the place is encapsulated by the CEO's request at last year's End of Season Party in a Crawley club. Having failed to gain the attention of all present,he yelled 'Shut the F**k up'. One to avoid.
