Comments such as "how long before they kill someone" are counterproductive, and probably uninformed at best, slanderous and completely wrong at worst.
If anything, that would be libel surely? However, asking an open question on a public rumour forum is unlikely to be so - good luck to anyone with that particular court case!
There are a number of people promoted to places where ambition greatly outweighs ability on the simple premise that their face fits in the view of those that bestow favours. Nothing wrong with ambition, but it often clouds the thought that might otherwise attach some credence to such ideas as "those you crap on on the way up, are those you'll meet on the way down"
Once you get past the point where you will never get back down to where you started, you begin appointing the ambitious/incapable to your own court. So much easier to surround yourself with muppets to take the heat for you, who are hoping in return, for advancement. My experience now, is the good guys who should be in management, don't touch it with a barge-pole!
Having left Loganair earlier this year (again after 4 short years, like you JB) I would say that is an accurate reflection of the current state of play within management. A total disregard for staff and crews (yet they love the word "team") and an arrogance where an intellect should be found.
