Welcome back Max after your weekend with the fairies. I expect we're all getting a bit bored with this now so time to move on. On 19th June you wrote -
"Let's face facts, after the amalgamation of the two airlines, there were bound to be too many people employed to do all the necessary jobs so some would eventually have to go.
In respect of the departure of the two ex RFMs, well this is an interesting one - their positions were made redundant in a cabinet reshuffle which coincided almost exactly with their resignations. The fact that they are going to an airline with no aeroplanes (yet), that is starting up to operate from the HQ base of one of the most successful and aggressive low-cost operators in the world, is a brave move indeed! We wish them well, they are good blokes. The remaining RFM has now been appointed as temporary acting FOM and he's a good bloke too."
The disappointing bit is that in response to a thread with a potentially negative title for your company, your posting made the suggestion that there were too many people anyway and tied that with a hint that the 2 resignees jumped as they were going to be pushed. You know that this is not correct and that one of the 2 had been made Acting Flight Operations Manager a few days earlier, and that both resignations were positive career choices. Most companies would view 2 of their 3 Fleet Managers resigning to join a competitor as a bit of a blow.
I suppose this thread highlights the pitfalls of using pseudonyms for quasi management purposes. Anyway good luck with the new job. Regards to Priscilla and jmc-man but don't spend too much time talking with the fairies.
