It seems so. especially as the contradictions keep mounting up....
"GREG RUSSELL: When I arrived, one of the things that I asked to see was a current workforce plan, a plan that told us where our problem areas were. No such plan existed. We didn't think about the future. We didn't plan for it. And we're now in better shape."
So, he didnt know when he arrived...and what has he done about it since finding out (since he previously admitted there has been TIBA events going back to 2006)?....
He has made a plan!!! And the plan is........"For now, Air Services is trying desperately to remain upbeat, adamant the immediate shortfall should be fixed next month with 17 new recruits." Yet..."But the first bumper class of graduates won't be ready for work until 2011"

So the plan, as advised so far, is to increase the staff numbers...in 2011. hehehe, that is, of course, if he retains the current staff......"The union warns that unless salaries are hiked up a whopping 30 per cent, on par with their international colleagues, there'll be a further exodus of staff."
So whats the plan there.....? Or will your replacement, Greg, be telling us he wasnt aware that there was a global demand for his renegades? And that he needs to make a plan?
