As one of the Prune 'silent majority' for so long, I now am compelled to comment.
Politics and back-stabbing are destroying this company. SS is taking the fall for the incompetence and inaction of the previous CP training. IM sat in his office never venturing out other than to take the money. No changes were made, no procedures amended to correct the appalling lack of standards that are obvious to anyone who cares.
No matter how you color the present situation, if it is true that AQ is taking over, then rest assured he has maneuvered himself into that spot.
Can any of us trust such a person? And while I'm at it, who is in charge of line operations standards now? A glorified Fleet Manager (CP Fleets!), a new CP Training, a TRTO, or maybe the Cabin Crew manager!
