Gold Air Management

Does anyone know if there has been a shake up of the Gold Air management due to the fact that pilots and operations staff are leaving in numbers?

How does the out-sourcing of the Ops Department work in GA, seems it may be a challenge to the third-party provider.

What is the status of Operations staff recruitment after the exodous earlier this year?

There is just one person to blame for the ongoing exodus that occurs at GDA. Work it out yourself by reading previous threads.

Is it true that all the Ops duties were outsourced to Baseops Europe at LGW?

Who are now closing down...

Word from my contact is that either: N.P. of Chauffair fame will be steping in to the M.Ds shoes at Xmas when both he and the ops director leave.....

Or that the current Chief pilot will take over as M.D and his Deputy will become ops director...... surely this can only be good news?

Oh, Wee McJulie! This is just the sort of rumour these boards thrive on. Nice one!

I can see this topic firing-up

Citizens, the rumour on the streets is that someone at GA got a call from a local turbo prop op asking if a certain pilot(ops director) worked there as they had a cv from him. So xmas may be the time. NP, the legend returns. Sure to make more than a few smile.
So it was five or so years ago, the story began of one mans ruthless pursuit of chauffair. The said company fell by the wayside for reasons not of his doing, not that that stopped the gloating or credit taking. And after all this time walking around GA giving it out, having his stunt airplane fixed on the house and generally being a d**k h**d it would tickle me to see...

All those things I can do. All those powers. And I couldn't even save him.

I don't think Ladbrookes will have much money on NP returning to be honest...

Great news to hear NP might be back – NOT

Superman - it was specifically his doing, he was a perfect example of how to run a co for personal gain and screw the rest.

The final nail.... for Gold methinks.

Nice list of facts there WJM, but can us non-combatants have it put into perspective.

How many staff in total on the Goldair payroll?

NP is OK

I worked with him several times, from the start to the finish. He is a gentleman.

Remember if you own a company it is YOURS....he always treated me well, and treated himself better, and in his shoes so would I.

end of matter.

Until WC goes down the same this company will never be worth working for.

PH needs to get some cohones. Concorde time does not a manager make.

I do not work for the company.

Great concept just too many ego driven wan?ers wanting their Porches polished by the poor kids in overalls.

The last time I saw WC he had just taken delivery of a new AUDI sport. He was more interested in the car than he was with the CAA inspection that was going on inside the building. Toys R Us springs to mind

Daifly and your point is what ? Good flying in a stunt plane don't equal good management skills
