Every one that I've ever worked for and probably most that I've heard of! If you want accountability, integrity and leadership read a Tom Clancy novel as you won't find any in this industry.

Thank you, I feel much better now nurse...

Yep, 31 years flying, 17000 hours, 11 airlines and seven jet operators, sounds like every one I've worked for, and thats only the good one's.

I know what your trying to say MrReees, but commercial aviation sucks. It is not the utopia dreemed of on the wannabe pages. I started out with all the dreams in 1969 but now in 2001, I accept that the dream is nothing but just that, a dream. Reality is commercial pressure, sychophant motivated managment and training departments run more by personal ego's rather than logic.

Commercial airlines run purely for the purpose of making money. Safety is bowed to only when it costs nothing. The new concept of allowing airlines to regulate themselves as per the JAA Quality control concept will allow greater sins to go unnoticed.

Your post is obviously well motivated MrReees, but sadly you are on the losing end of the game by posting it.

I hope this thread isn't going to be like the 'What airport is this' thread

Sounds like an airline that has no union representation to me.

Anti-Skid,

BoeingBoy is absolutely right, our management changed for 3 times in the last 6 years and it got worse with every change, what they criticised in the previous management, became their credo when they became the next managers.

This is a particularly pointless topic until MrAReees divulges the identity of the ccompany, until then there really is nothing to say.

So come on, Mr, put your mouth where your money is, and put us all out of our misery.

The Airline what MrRees is defining is has to be the best airline in the world and that sounds like Stinga-pore Airlines.
What the need to know is that FLIGHT SAFETY AND PROFITS KILLS EACH OTHER.........

He's obviously talking about one of the UK charter operators,

JMC?

Oneworld22 I hope you are not correct! We are told that it is a professional airline.

Who do I contact at JMC to play a company football match. Social Integration first is the best ideal.

twitchy, you're an idiot if you really believe that.

In the long run, you cannot have a profitable airline that does not include Flight Safety as its highest priority.

Safety may seem to the blinkered beancounter as an expensive option. In reality it is far less expensive than the alternative.

Oneworld and Fockeheinz. I have spoken to my colleague in JMC Airlines about this. Tiny Man and the Fat Controller assure him this could not be JMC.
