Mismanaged!
Callsign Kilo
The reason we lost the dual basing was that it should never have been applied to the people we recruited in the first place.....it was illegal then .....how can you ask a pilot or cabin crew member living in Greenock to report to Edinburgh within 90 minutes of callout......the CAA found out about it and dual basing,with a number of other approvals like ETOPS was lost.
The reason it changed from one interview to the other was the fact that someone in Colinton stood up to the bullsh*t long before your 2nd interview.....but (sadly)he ain't around anymore.
It doesn't take much to operate legally,it costs much more when the CAA find out and those approvals on which the flying programme is(falsely)based are lost.
All it takes is a bit of honesty and a realisation that we need more crew,and the crew we need need to be committed,local and treated properly.
Afinehelmet,chickenwings,GSM SCOT and all other management apologists please take notice.
