Jetstar A320 Chief Pilot
 

Was just told that a new A320 Chief Pilot was on the way, will be starting duties in the next few days....is this true?? Any feedback?? or info??:confused:

Let me guess - are the initials PW by any chance??

GL perhaps

Let me guess, he is from the year that cannot be mentioned?

If I was a betting man looking for a sure thing, I'd put my cash against the initial's oicur12 has given us.

Edit: re-reading my post, a point of clarification: that's "against" as in "up against", or "with".

GL (big) has already been announced as the 'interim' A320 Chief Pilot.

Of course that was last week.........

What happened to the old chief pilot?

wow, three posts in and some one mentions '89:rolleyes:

serioulsy, moderators why do you let this continue in discussion??!! :=

the phrase beating a dead horse comes to mind....

its been almost TWENTY years, what is the point of past history coming up over and over and over again, its becoming a :mad:joke!!

Wot about SP? he'd be an excellent CP...

He must have enjoyed living in the sandpit if he only spent one year with EK.

Better get used to the fact, strobe 12, that it will NEVER go away!

Concur.

Seems to me, all those that do wish it would "go away" share one "heroic" trait - even if they were too young to be real "heroes" way back then themselves.

What happened to the old chief pilot?Big GL is a very nice gentleman. He won't upset anyone and won't take a stand. I think he is to good for the likes of JQ management.

If indeed is GL then nice bloke and, yes, probably too good for the likes of pornstar management.

Can indeed take a stand - happy to be corrected but was in pornstar a few years ago, training captain, voted with his feet as trying to train with only 30 minute turnarounds was just bullsh*t.

A man with standards I would suggest!
Should be stuffed and mounted as a dieing breed! Few of us left!! :p

Rumour I'd heard - returning to pornstar as Introduction Manager (or whatever title) for 787, utilising his 777 sandpit time for the benefit of Qantas (sorry, pornstar.) :ok:

When you mention old chief pilot -are you talking about MW? ..like Pauline H@nson says, -please explain!

Galdian, you're right.

The role is still effectively middle management and the ability to instigate change is very limited - if any at all. There is a misunderstanding amongst pilots about the ability to effect change at that level of a business.
