RF and JVJ have saved and re generated Airlink.
I don't thing RF or JvJ deserve ANY praise. If I were them, I would be doing some very real soul searching right about now.
They have 'managed' the airline to the verge of bankruptcy. In their many achievements, a large number of incidents and 4 insurance claims in 6 months, of which 2 were total hull loses. Not to mention a body count. I know it shouldn't, but it amazes my they would like to continue screwing the crew.
Sadly the crew are as much to blame, from a strong union 10 years ago, that had the resources to force the company to court and won, to a bunch that take the view that its 'not their problem, I am not staying anyway'. Now the industry is in the toilet worldwide, and suddenly it is their problem.
My advise is: GROW SOME GONADS, STAND TOGETHER
