Very well put sal-e
unfortunately many use this forum as a venue for personal attacks as opposed to rumours or news inside the airlines. If one were keen to raise the question about the proceedings regarding this appointment, fair enough..but to turn it into a personal drubbing of this chap is unfair..remember this fellow also filters out a lot of rubbish written about flt deck crews as well delays unfairly blamed on crews etc...etc....so in fact he does work on our side!!
