Not just problems in Flight Ops, Engineering is in turmoil.
The news all the ex RBA engineers were waiting for was announced by Ray Sayer on November 8th.
Namely, the summary dismissal of the EVP Aircraft Operations
. This inept and incompetent person did more to harm engineering that any other. He was suspended 3 years ago amid claims of shady dealing. He was re enstated for no good reason
and along with the recently replaced ex CEO caused mayhem and chaos prompting many of the senior engineering management (expat and local) to leave. I hope all his lap dogs are quaking in their boots (you know who you are), the number is surely up for them too.
This could mean the start of something good for Engineering, I hope it is not too late!
