A way forward?
A few observations to clarify the situation:
To my knowledge, there has never been a fare paying passenger killed since the management buyout in 1997 when Scott Grier took the helm.
The accountant who joined circa 2001 is a very decent chap and is in charge.
He needs to lead from the front and change the culture as necessary. Is the remuneration structure for his management team, in part, causing these events? Is a lack of empathy with the staff a major issue?
A confidential culture survey (when Loganair was a BA franchise ~ a yearly event) may well reveal to him just what the perceived issues are. BALPA to supervise?
Yes, profits might well take a dip during this transition, but they needs to think long term?
Saab are very suitable AC for the task. However, they are not getting any younger and besides the statutory maintenance, a measure of TLC is also necessary from experienced lead ginger beers.
Mr Boeing says that when one of his machines reaches 20 years old, twice as much maintenance (TLC) is necessary. All the Saabs exceed 20 years old.
Loganair have a sound future provided the right sound leadership is present.
The Thought Police, will no doubt be monitoring all social media.
A final thought:
if this was part of the NHS, the CQC would actively being considering whether "special measures" were appropriate.........
