Dont get me wrong here guys....
I have never seen the CEO in his office and I did fight for my own issues within flight ops management!
But the fact to the matter is that the CEO does get involved in ALL flight ops related issues we have on a day to day bases.
He does interfere in the daily ops of the airline in more ways than you think.
He is the ONLY one who decides on policy changes, no matter of what importance.
So I know certain people who went to see him, after having tried everything they thought was necessary to change things as a gentleman...After all of it failed, they finally went up to talk to him and really told him everything which is going on....
Mostly he reacts...
But recently an algerian pilot, quit frankly a pain in the neck but incredibly knowledgable and gifted technically, went up to see him and talked for a long time.
The CEO was shaken and reacted, but in stead of taking things in his own hands like he usually does, he organised an interview board done by two management pilots....which quiet frankly is as usueless as tits on a bull!
Thats all I wanted to say...
AI OM Part A
1) Better than LH.....you must be joking, right?
2) Its not a bad OM, but its full of bureacratic mumbo jumbo and tooooooo much unnecessary talking in a true and well known Indian tradition!
3) QR should just stick to 100% airbus sop....thats all
