Frigatebird -well done, you say:
"Am informed by an ex Chief Pilot (twice) - once in Buchanan's era and again for a short stint recently over Christmas - that under its present ownership and administration waste is out of control, and supervision and discipline are almost non-existant."
Management (yes, that include Islanders) read these pages too. So now you have dobbed in your mate for having provided confidential company information in confidence to you. It is not very hard for an informed manager to figure out which CP you are referring to, and he may not appreciate you going public with the assessment he provided you with in respect of the current status within Solomon Airlines (I mean c'mon - he's obviously a sucker for punishment having been back twice, and you may just have precluded his possibility of coming back for a third time).
With mates like you - who needs enemies............
