Resignations
Arrowhead,
Not got any information on departures other than the Head of Operations (FH), but he had got to the end of his contract and I think it is unrelated - although he is reportedly very disgusted by what has happened. However further departures are bound to be just around the corner.
The shrewd ones will wait to see what transpires - particularly a potential pay out? The pilots who may have been shafted by this would be well advised to join forces and get an opinion on Macao labour law which could be in their favour for a few dollars at least.
I would hope that the management that has led everybody up this gum tree will be the first to fall on their swords. It takes skill to snatch defeat of this order from the jaws of victory - capital, aircraft and routes all available but incompetence, megalomania and jealousy win the day!
It will be very interesting to see if the regulator (AACM) is going to dance to Air Macau's tune - some of the things that Air Macau apparently want to do would make the hair curl in any normal regulatory regime.
I hope that the Macau Express guys use the facility of pprune to air their opinion on this shambles - if nothing else it might make them feel better! For the sake of those guys facing an uncertain winter let us hope that they manage to salvage something.
Hailer
