the MAPA prez conned the members by cheating to get onto the A380 course ahead of more deserving members
What the Mapa president and ex-DFO did was definitely beneath contempt, corruption in a different guise! They must be held accountable; completing the A380 well ahead of time for the arrival of the aircraft means massive wastage of much needed funds. All the sim base checks in Toulouse are " jolly rides ", money wasting junkets dealing contemptible blows to any call for fiscal and operational accountability. What a blow to crew morale; deserving guys sidelined. Repeat of the early and late nineties where the MAPA prez were complicit in the bypassing seniors in the upgrade to the B744.
