No, just a long memory.
Never let a good deed go unpunished, something about dish best served cold.
Incidently do you have anything to add to this thread ?, if not good bye and good luck.

This thread is cooling a little. What happened?....... all the blokes that were on here chatting about this mob move on to greener pastures or something?.
I was chatting to a CEO for a mining company yesterday, and the name Skippers was mentioned a few times.......... and unfortunately for them, none of the references were complimentary. How are things there now?. same crewing problems?.

$150 million. GH has jumped/pushed. So go the rumours. Now MC, DB and RF just need to follow.

I wouldn't expect anybody to spend 150 mill on a leaky boat, rather sit back and wait for it to finish sinking. There will be abit of work, a few cheap aircraft and possibly a few suitable pilots to go to other operators.

Two thirds of those other names may already be well known and already tried to jump ship.
, how do you like those apples.
From what i hear ( rumour has it
) they are spending more time trying to chase departed/departing staff for money than trying to replace them, good choice.

I heard that too. Probably SQ thinks if he chases a few people for bonds those still there will think twice about leaving.
If GH has resigned then they are in deep doo doo. MC cannot do both jobs and not many people that could step in to that position, would step in to that position.
This is going to get interesting....no CEO/General manager and no Head C&T.

SQ originally was asking closer to $200m (rumoured), so much for being a temporary CEO.
Hey, I could do the job...all I'd need to do is walk around with a cheesy grin and impress clients with timtams in the VIP room. They're hungry? Being money-savvy, get the terminal girls to check with the rampys to see if there are any leftover croissants off XUE from this mornings jundee flight. What? It's in wiluna? Must be a mix up, sort it out later. Oh well time for the visit to engineering to give the impression I'm keeping in touch with the workers...it's a long walk down to tech records and maintence planning so if I only do it once a year it is a goodyear. Mind those red tagged metro tyres, jeez that one looked like it had a fast track landing.
Upon return to my glass castle I'll get my lovely personal assistant to do my photocopying while I hand out a backpack at the latest employee of the month award...and try to get their name right while having a facial expression other than that of "I didn't know you worked here". Wonder if they are 457. Curse fact that breezeway barbie mates aren't here anymore. Oh hang on isn't the new metro fleet manager that former-braz-driving-then-jumping-ship-to-fly-a-q400-in-japan mate of mine? Maybe, seem to recall being invited to an engagement party involving him and someone on the dash...will get personal assistant to check the facts, might be just a rumour. Meanwhile wait for my diving buddies to rock up, burn time by making more impressive excel pie charts illustrating company turnover, employees V cash. Wait that cannot be right!?? When mates arrive commandeer a conquest and head down to leeuwin for the rest of the day and on the return leave a trail of chocolates and champers down the breezeway. Give nemo an extra $50 for coming in on his sixth day. Top the night off by enjoying my 'girlfriend' perform nudie runs up and down Valentine Ave. Ring SQ next morning and tell him how great the company is doing.
What is hard about that?!!
15 minute parking only must not apply to CEO types nice to see the tradition continuing, not allowed to park in the workers' carpark because you don't.
Another captain gone, JP you'll be missed. No doubt MC will creatively interpret the rules and regs to discover that yes, three cadets on a dash is legal just like a cpl can fly an M23 in command provided the other guy is a safety pilot and didn't log anything. I'd let it go, and concentrate on not forgetting position reports on center next time I'm in XFV. But we've all done that and the coey is there just to put the gear down, nothing else.
I honestly don't know who would buy the place. Oh would it not be ironic if lindsay knocked on the door with a cheque but I think he's laughing far too much. It is sad, in a way.
Last one to leave turn the bugs off.

I am of the same opinion as Vee Tail, the company is not without its issues, but it is not a bad place to work
You just can't polish a turd, i know, i've tried.

Excellent work Led Zep.
Have you thought about approaching the commercial networks (poor choice of word) and becoming the script writer for a new action drama series.
Maybe someone out there could think of a good name but I think Gary Sweet could play SQ, or maybe Simon Westaway might be more suitable? Hmm.

Well atleast Mr Burns of Springfield appears to have a clue on whats happening to his powerplant.
If one is to believe:
*what is written here on pprune,
* what i've experienced myself,
* what every person that i know that works/has worked there and does not have a brown tide mark on their nose knows,
* what CEO's of mines approaching other operators indicates, and,
* the number of aircraft parked up during peak hours whilst other operators aircraft are parked on their parking bays indicates,
Well, i'd be pretty bloody worried about my business and would be trying to correct the error of the organisations ways.
I do not believe that is apparent in ones actions.
