Quiet Landing, hate to upset your rose tinted glasses but the best manager at BHX was the last General Manager CT. Didn't have much time for her at Servisair but was a total revelation when she switched sides.
PR, as the first Station Manager, simply inherited all the good work she did. When he got his feet under the table he started to promote his 'pets' because of the way they sucked up rather than how well they could do the job. That was when the problems started, people became demotivated, lost interest or just left. And he didn't have much to do with winning new contracts either, that was the Commercial Manager, all he had to do was make the place look pretty and let the commercial team do their stuff. Think about it, were KS RB JW CS PK and others really the best people to carry out the tasks asked of them? There were others who could have done a much better job if they had been given the chance, then maybe the company would have continued to grow and prosper instead of face the current crisis. There again, if commercial had of done their job and get work for BHX instead of concerntrating on MAN and LGW things would be different. What other company would let a competitor continue with a contract that they have a worldwide agreement on when it would have saved jobs and allow the base to continue in its previous set up
