The new Chief Pilot at Thomas Cook has apparently been at a number airlines Silverjet, BA City Flyer, BA Connect, BA City Express and British Regional Airlines to name but a few.
Anyone at these airlines like to comment on what we can expect at TCX.
He left Bacon when the Flybe sell off occurred, like most sensible people!
I should say the history of Silverjet, BA Connect, BACX, BRAL, Manx states the obvious. But he is actually quite a professional guy. But doesn't know a lot about charter ops and aircraft larger than a J41 or Emb145 where he cut his teeth, and managed to fly once a month in his latter years at Bacon. Can't have got a lot of experience of bigger aircraft in SJ because they didn't last long with him there (nothing personal I'm sure). Quick learner, his one major failing in Bacon was blatantly lying (ie speaking what the MD Evans spoke) when genuinely he probably didn't believe the BS either.
But surely there must be better qualified people to have taken this job? Unless a clean look was needed?
