Of course they are right to protect themselves from false accusations Racedo, but if the poster was a disgruntled employee I ask myself if what we saw here was that the best way to manage the situation? The second-in-command couldn't have been that way when he started the job so something must have happened along the way to make him that way and it is that aspect of management that would be of concern to me.
Of the 2 people who have posted retractions
1 has nothing to do with aviation
1 in 2010 worked for Ryanair but we know little else.
I think you are of an age (er semi oldish git
) who will have seen people come and go from employers.
Some will go on to bigger and better things, others will go with a hatred and bitterness because their supposed belief in themselves is not shared by anybody else and they missed on promotion / more money etc etc. The latter carry the grudge and feel somehow they want to make the ex employer pay and irrationally kicks in.
