Reading Big Yellow Bird's posts, it is quite clear he don't know nothing about nothing .... in addition he obviously loves the sound of his own post ... verbose or what?
Message to BYB ... in the real world, young man, there are people running companies who do not have the ability to do so, but who have not been found out yet ... one such person is the aforementioned AAB. It is no good spouting on about about the fact that people should be loyal to QR ... I can assure that the great majority of the people listed at the beginning of this thread did all they possibly could to work as a team for the success of the airline. Most people want the company they work for to be successful and work hard to make it happen. These folks were no exception. However when you work for a CEO who is completely lacking in people skills and does not know how to thank or praise his staff, it is extremely difficult to remain loyal and there is a great temptation to look around for an employer who will appreciate your efforts.
