PIK survived by multi tasking fire crews as baggage handlers with no impact on safety. I would say "professional development" be damned given the situation. The business is in freefall and has failed to prove they can adapt to the needs of the market, to the point of turning away blue chip business. Once you do that, people don't come back.
They have succesfully established the notion that the business cannot deal with charters from the UK's largest and most respected holiday airline. The distance to saying that they cannot make money from remaining passenger activity is tiny, yet "true believers" continue to take the party line that this nonsensical two fingers to trade, is somehow a good thing. From an outsider's perspective, it seems utterly bizarre. The industry has already forgotten MME is even open for business. Why? Because management have made clear they don't want any.
