I'm not sure STC leaving this year would be cause for concern - I think it's essential.
He's done his bit over the lifetime of the airline and now it's at a point where things need to change and be moved into the "next phase".
In order for that to happen it needs a change of leadership - just like any other business would in any other industry.
We are in the process of formulating our exit strategy anyway, but I think if CM is moved aside, all his plans are binned and we take the remainder of those damn 380's then it won't be out of choice we are leaving - I just hope we bail before it sinks.
