trolleydolly,
You have used this forum appropriately, I must say. As a former ACASS employee, I can assure you that many post on this forum regarding ACASS are quite factual. The "snake," as you call him, goes by other names like "used car salesman" or "fruit loop." He is definitely a two-sided coin as the VPFCS/PP has no respect for the pilots. I have personally heard him say the pilots are like abunch of school kids or, even worse, refer to them as pieces of $*@#.
One thing for sure is that anyone thinking of contracting or working for ACASS should watch his back when dealing with the snake. If, by chance, any senior management folks should happen to read this post, the reason the Chief Pilot resigned is because of the snake. The sooner he is replaced, the better. Then maybe ACASS would have a chance at getting its respect back within the industry.
