Helios Verdict

It is really good news that Alan has been aquitted, however, the court still seems to be of the opinion that he left the PMS in MAN despite there being no evidence to support this.

It is interesting that while Alan has all along rightly received overwhelming support from his fellow engineers and a heap of drivers, the CEO and the two management pilots have had little or no support from fellow managers in this or any other forum! Keeping their corporate heads below the parapet no doubt.

As UK CAA was mentioned, they were responsible for the safety oversight of Helios and had recommended continuance of the AOC only two months prior to the accident. There was nothing wrong with the way helios was run, so let's have a few management meerkats poking their heads out of their cosy burrows and boycotting anything Greek in support of Demetris, Ianko and George.
