It is the most acidic of workplaces...
I came to aviation having been in different industries and different capacities. t is the most aggressive and poorly managed company I have ever observed.
The rising tide has lifted all boats (Mao) and Dixon was sitting in the seat. Replicating the airline with another one is no great invention....
It adds complexity and diverts effort....
Continued encroachment by our competitors, old disfunctional machinery..Killing the golden brand to prove an industrial point...
When the tide recedes we will find out just who was swimming without clothes. He was nothing but incredibly lucky. His "vision" will be cursed if we are fortunate enough to have good management, distinct from the wannabes. Anyone can "manage" in good times, good managers are made of bad times.
