In particular the 
who designed the interview process. Sounds like a cross between a NASA interview and a stay at a cuban detention centre.

Here's what Eagles GM had to say......
All Eagle Staff
Hopefully by now you would have been made aware (either by the staff announcement yesterday or by the rumour hot line) that I have accepted the role as General Manager Air Nelson, with a proposed start date of 1 July.
Many people today, have commented, and I quote “Gee you haven’t been here long and we have only just trained you, now we have to go and start all over again” end quote, I agree, it has been a very short period, but very enjoyable.
The past 18 months has been a very rewarding experience for me, at work and also my personnel life. I have had the opportunity to work in an environment with a team that makes you fell part of a family right from day one (even being an Aussie).
Living in the Waikato and having the opportunity to travel throughout this fantastic country is something that many Kiwis don’t even get to do……certainly a great country to live in.
I will definitely miss the Eagle family, hope to catch up with as many of you as possible before I become a South Islander (but will always remain a solid Wallabies supporter)

this could be the fabled beginning of the merger of all the regionals.

Merger of the 3 regionals will be at a corporate level only. there's no way you'll see a combined pilot group, the 3 entities will have one GM, one accounts department, combined engineering etc, but the the individual flights ops dept's will remain as well as their respective CEA's, just cutting out some middle managment in the corporate world.

Well hell. This isn't good. To all of you who said that the negotiations would be the end of him, what do you say now? Never think for a second that a bad negotiation round prevents promotion. Always thought he'd ascend up, regardless of the outcome of the negs. I hate being right this time.
Make no mistake - he will be trying to find a way of bringing it all together, including the pilot groups. Yes, the seniority list will be one of many sh*t fights but he'll have a go. It ain't going to be pleasant. I see turbulence ahead for all concerned. Hunker down.

They probably could not sack him for the contract f@#k up but put him in a new job that really does piss all and there is probably someone in the miriad of jobs at air nz that already does that anyway.
So what are they doing, give it time to settle and you will probably find that he will slip out quietly with a fat bonus or something...
As for an amalgimation of the links, whay would that be so bad, less cost in the management side has to be good. Just alot of issues with the merger but hey if it saves our jobs and makes the group more profitable then bring it on.
I suspect that it wont happen as there would be to much power in the regional when it comes to negs, but still similar to the freedom merger. Interesting times with the recession only just starting to hit nz.

If you think that nz has seen the worst of this recession then you may well have your head in the clouds... Just because people are buying houses does not mean that we have seen the worst of it. The problem with alot of kiwis is that they seem to think that things wont happen to them, but it does.
I never said that there would not be job losses, did I... But a few job losses is better than alot isn't it, or am I wrong there too.
Another thing, whats up with paying out another flippin treaty claim when the govt/ country can't afford it and seriously does not have the money. (Heard that on the news last night)

Air New Zealand Link will be ONE airline operating a big fleet of different sized Bombardier props and a number of 1900's.
CTOT ON: Is General Manager to Project Manager a promotion?
Though 'Hatchet Hambleton' does have an interesting ring to it.

Question: Why would they put in an ex HR guru - General Manager Human Resources for Pacific and Regional Airlines - to run MCA?
To deal with the merger with Air NS?

Good riddance
Get back to the purpose of the thread - celebrating the departure of the narrow minded tosser. Drinks tomorrow at the Moutere Inn (I'm working unfortunately).
Maybe we can now start to rebuild the company (have to get rid of a few of the dinosaurs and air force types to really finish the job though).
