Seems like "pistols at dawn" has been resolved in favour of the 52% shareholder.
A pilot manager I spoke to is gravely concerned about the competence/aviation knowledge of whomever is slotted in to replace Flick. He wasn't Snow White, & he "may" have run off/hidden some of the family silverware , but he did also do a fairly good job for airB as well as himself.
If the next CEO is just a "Yes Man" who shares the stolen treasure with politicians to keep them quiet, difficult to imagine the company progressing too much. A senior pilot figure cautioned me that he could well foresee stagnation/regression with airB ending up as a little regional carrier with 4 737's & half a dozen Q 400's, akin to Estonian. Shame if it ends that way, a great opportunity will have been wasted in this case.
