I am amazed by some of the reactions here.
For years and years the QR flight ops dept has been ruled by worthless amateurs and nobody complained.
Sure, lots of the pilots had one or another way in so rosters could be manipulated, check results changed ( No, Its NOT normal 80% of the checks are graded 5!!!!), fleet transfers arranged etc etc etc
Sure, RH is not a stranger to political games and he made his mistakes in the past....But the man does know what he is talking about, he knows how to fly an airplane and yes, his standards while checking are higher than the average TRE-that-just=fell-out-of-a-tree in qatar Airways!
You can live with an absolute amateur telling you how much fuel to take, implimenting policies without ever reading an OEB,....so I am sure you can live with RH and SD in the training office!
