There are crew that worked at eastern when they first went to HUM who left predicting that they would go under soon due to crewing to incompetency and constant operations stupidity.
They even at one point had 20 odd hire cars out on hire sitting in a car park in Nairn one of them had been their for 6 weeks. It was only discovered apparently when the hotel owner complained that he was running out of car parking space.
Eastern is still running 15 years later. And the word from the guys who have escaped recently is that the place is exactly the same.
