With respect runesta,
cronyism, scaremongering, sensationalism
These three words fit with what I was thinking when I first saw what GT said on sunrise, it felt so contrived, deceitful and probably why this thread has been churning over the way it has. There are some very proud people on here who probably felt as cheated as I did.
Having said that, you made some good points in your last post, but I find myself still 100 % in support of the pilots and engineers, in this case it was poorly judged by GT but I am sure at the time, the
PR department at Q thought they kicked a goal.
GT let his mouth run riot at a time when all is at boiling point within the ranks at Q with management. For too long (10 years) GD and now AJ have been pointing the finger at staff labor costs as the blame for all their troubles, it appeared GT didn't sense this at all, amazing for an expert aviation journalist. This thread is about what he said that morning, spin, he split the can of worms wide open for all to see.
