I am quite certain that there are several highly qualified ‘local’ CASA recognized folk who have been interviewed for the advertised positions.
The truth is, RH has the say now and he will demand that his EK mates fill the positions. They will swan in demanding
VB/ CASA bow to their way of doing it, which will not impress CASA or for that matter
VB.
Not a great start to something potentially great.
Hopefully JB keeps an eye on these things.
