A.P. If that is the case, then I'm happy to stand corrected.
I didn't make any assumption about the quality of the candidates or the unit management at EMA, (who I know and have a high regard for), merely the fact that accountants seem to have more sway in the boardroom than operational management.
I know the first thing that happened at all the airports in the MAN PLC group was an accountants eye looked into every nook and corner of each airfields operation, and wherever possible salaries were cut on the basis of "if you don't like it, you can go elsewhere".
Allegedly, one group of atsa's at an airport to the NE of EMA had their salaries cut by £2K - £4K when MAN moved in.
A fine way to motivate staff.
