End of the UK Practical RT Test?

[Genghis the Engineer]

I believe that within the Belgrano a certain person is known as "The train driver".

The odd meeting I've been to with him, I can't say he seemed to know the first thing about aviation.

A former senior manager at CAA, now jumped ship to industry where he seems much happier said to me that

"He seems to be working from the "boys book of management" - every week it's some new idea or initiative - most of them are inappropriate - and we're all running around after that instead of supporting aviation."

The conversation was a couple of years ago, so the words are probably wrong, but the gist isn't.


In my opinion, organisations led by people without strong knowledge of the core business of the organisation, will seldom do well. Think about banks led by people without banking qualifications, NHS managers who aren't medically trained, defence ministers who have never worked in the defence industry or served in uniform...
