So called 'Management Experience' from a failed airline should cast serious doubt about ones suitability for further management positions .. not so down in NZ it appears. If anyone still believes the incumbents are competent then be glad you are not a shareholder. It sounds like the Board needs to ask some serious questions and fast.
Interesting point as PB have, through the old boys network, hired Jetconnects old Ops manager into some sort of management position. He's also another ex AN who, without any system, turned JC's operation into the complete shambles that they are still trying to unravel today. Think of the millions that this one smoked while dabbling in management. Though to be fair he wasn't trained as a manager, just got there because he seemed a nice enough bloke and was a checkie, a good one at that too. But clearly out of his depth and poorly developed in a management role. Word is that some of the ex JC guys, who left to avoid the AN cartel, have re-interviewed with their old company to escape this band of brothers that seems to have followed them. All they need now is nepotism to complete all the sins within this airline's management. The word is that there will be a large exodus of Captains in the very near future that they haven't hedged for. New Zealand aviation desreves better than this. Time to stand in front of the mirror for some of these people, including the contractors, and consider the role they play in the safety of this airline because you cant always blame your pilots for finding a better job. Keep up with the swing of the pendulum or move on.
