Unfortunately, we have a very weak Management culture (sic) here. In the good old days (sorry) when it was 'on message' to be respectful to the pilots who somehow got the big beast around the corner from the IGS, they couldn't have been nicer. When 'the message' changed, the whole of Management changed too - all at the same time, as one just like the flicking of a switch.
They do what they're told adhering always to the letter of their contracts and the messages they get from HQ in Central/London.
That has resulted in the current Contract Compliance phase from us and a fair number await the French cummuppence with a certain 'Je ne sais pas'.
Historically, nothing bad will happen to the Swire Group but it should and, one day, it will.
