On the subject of management, word has it that the Aus cargo manager, the Phillipino treasury manager and the PNG properties manager are now out on the street.
It seems that the Canadian's contract was not renewed but he is to be retained as a consultant for the Q400's. This will give him carte blanche to run around doing his master's bidding without all those other GM Eng duties getting in the way. On the upside, if they replace him with care, it may just restore a bit of morale in engineering. I understand a former incumbent with trans Tasman connections has already been sounded out, but is not particularly interested at this time.
