Chief Pilots potential demise rumours....
THere have been a few rumblings about the potential axing of a Chief Pilot at a certain major carrier. Does anyone know the rumour behind the rumour, or the facts behind the rumour............... When, Why, If, When, How, Animal or Vegetable.....

Cmon Guys, you know these Guys are bullet proof! If Slow Hand Luke could survive the LOSA bebarkle, Dads armies Mr Mannering can survive a vote of no confidence from a splintered pilot group. To prove my point, they aren't going to give us the engagement survey again because they are of no doubt the results will be far worse than last time. Not bad considering the last result was the lowest in corporate history. 
"Righto Chaps, hand these out. Lets see how well we are doing! Just don't hand them out to the pilots, flight attendants or the engineers. Oh yeah, ground staff cant fill them out either, infact I just printed off 2 copies. Chris, could you fill out one, and Wayne, could you fill out the other one, and get them back to me as soon as possible so we can average out the results before the end of the financial year! Chop chop! Bonuses await!"

I Wish
Great rumour, I wish it was true! Unfortunately, premature. Pressure is building at the roo with court cases L, R and centre (it's a major inconvenience and cost to have to fight them). At least one is directly (personally) aimed at the CP. AIPA are cashed up after jettisoning some dead weight legal types and are now contracting people who will actually pursue the organisation's aims.
I believe the above rumour started from problems wth Jetstar's industrial (pilot wise) mishandling of the transmission of QF A330s to JQ INT. Don't know if that resulted in pressure on him? Can only hope...

Oooops, sorry for the spelling mistake Missy, I promise to try harder in future.
No one took responsibility for the poor results in the LOSA audit, I think the recomendations by Slow Hand were spot on though, I for one shined my shoes and wore my hat and jacket a whole lot more.

Hey Elroy, I notice the current CP reckons that's also the answer to everything also! Reference - a recent Flt Ops Newsletter.
I guess he's got a point - we're QF crew and have to look good. And of course the only time we actually interact with our customers now is when we are stripping off our polished shoes, crisply dry-cleaned jacket, belt and hat at security-screening and being harrassed whilst half-naked with the rest of the punters...
Ah, but we look good, so there you go, everything's fine.

At least Captain Serious won't have to throw a wobbly when some IT literate pilot puts sh*t on the computers at work, causing him to devote half a page of the newsletter to venting his outrage that someone would take the p*ss out of him. Now he can take himself seriously in private.
