I'll be sad to see the end of GB, but if the truth be known the 'family' run airline died a few years ago. Unfortunately poor management over the last few years did the airline no good. The termination of Fred's contract was the start of the downward spiral. The airline has lacked direction since then as it was neither a BA look-a-like or a lo-cost.
One good thing to come out of this buy-out is a clean sweep of the management and hopefully a culling of the bully boys in the training department.
I see there are one or two cc members feathering their own nest, one of them actually does training for Easy now, no wonder he is very upbeat about the whole thing. Remember the recommendations of the cc earlier in the year?
On the plus side we all have a job to go to. It could have been a lot worse, just remember Laker,Dan Air, Air Europe etc, etc.
