Hear! Hear!
Chimbu chuckles,
Management wanted him out, so it is quite likely, that had he kept quiet and allowed just four members of his positioning crew to board (in accordance with the available seats), they would have sacked him anyway for not acting professionally in bringing the problem to the attention of the operations staff whilst there was still time to do anything about it!
If they were out to get him... Well, rocks and hard places spring to mind.
I was talking to a mate of mine's wife yesterday who works for the Ryans at Prestwick and apparently, the pilots all got wined and dined at the company's expense to brainwash them into phoning the CAC and registering their opposition to the UK pilots being a single bargaining unit. If the management don't want it so badly, it must be good for the pilots.
And don't you just love it...
Flame getting flamed!
