Whilst the Pilot groups and middle management were telling the gurus it wasnt going to work the gurus kept telling the pilot group and CBR based pilots the base would not close. This is going to get very messy as some CBR Capts may have to go back to classic FO's due seniority as will possibily a 400 CBR based sim instructor. This is purely and soley a management cock up that very one else could see, it should have remained an Eastern centre. Would love to know the cost of all this.
