Jeez, this saga gets worse! The rumour sweeping BNE this morning is that the safety manager and his deputy resigned on the weekend. If true that would make 3 safety managers in 2 years, and just as many HOFO's. Should this rumor be confirmed then some serious questions need to be raised, especially considering the number of other senior resignations and sackings of late.
Considering that a change of key personnel is considered to be an area of 'high risk' one can only wonder effect all this turmoil is having on overall levels of safety and compliance? I have heard that morale is decimated.
I also find it interesting that the new CEO with no prior airline experience has opted to be the AOC holder?
Lastly my source tells me that all of these 'issues' commenced the day that the previous and short lived COO started with them. They were allegedly warned what would happen. Oops, seems like things are coming back to bite them in the ass. I hope they can at least hang on to the current HOFO who is a good no nonsense bloke with a sharp head and good rudder skills, then again the Titanic still sank even though it had some good people onboard.
And they still want to sell/float this outfit?
