Look inwards to the Norfolk airline management
There a lot of facts missing from this thread. For a start Wilson walked away from his Kiwi operation owing ON many thousands in unpaid charters. However that was a decade ago. Perhaps in his own warped manner he is trying to balance the books a little by his efforts to get ON back into NLK. Currently Ewan is trying to promote his own skills over Nick, as shown in the latest fiasco. Wilson tells OJ that they are not wanted for this charter. At the last moment ON falls over & OJ is asked to recover the flight. OJ is not interested (perhaps their scheduled operations have priority) and the 733 is operated with little revenue but great cost to all. Nick 1, Ewan 0 in this passage of play. Yes there are more sideline issues, some of it to do with ON charters taking precedence over scheduled services; some to do with the role Taiwan plays (and pays) in the overall structure; some to do with the intended operations into PNG with APNG's requirement for their own 733. Much also to do with the new ON CEO's background and past (forgettable) management roles. There are a lot of people in the party who have a lot to offer but who have no role to play. Others are fighting well over their weight divisions & will be picked off in time. The damage they cause on their way down and out will leave many others to clean up the mess. Just think back to the big names that have gone through the ON CEO position of late & remember their lack of effective management. Friends in OJ say there is a lot of action happening in this team, which will make NLK a very interesting arena in the immediate future.
