GB Airways Cabin Services Manager OUT

She breezes in, wrecks the moral of everyone about her, and finally she is out.

Was she pushed? Who knows.

One thing for sure............... she won't be missed.

This has got to be the best news ever to be heard at GB. We need someone new to GB to bring morale to the crew, which has been almost invisble at GB for quite a while.

Unhappy

I hope that this turn of events will somehow stem the flood of people who have left the company lately. What is a real concern is that the company have lost a lot of experienced people recently as well as new starts. Everybody needs exposure and time to learn so in the meantime we fly with young inexperienced crews. Some days the only persons in the main cabin with more than three months experience is the Purser and AP. How safe is that?

This woman arrived on her broomstick.

Now that it is firmly shoved where it hurts, can she please sweep up the mess that she has left behind!

Good riddance!

Would this be a good time to ask where the interviews are being held?
I haven't seen an advertisement for a new CSM with GB any where
Any suggestions?

Doesn't take much to read between the lines of the MD's letter.
Looks like she has had the shove.

She has got a taste of her own evil medicine.

Contrary to what the MD says, I'm sure most will agree she has nearly wrecked the airline. Nasty beyond belief, treated people like dirt, shafted everyone on her way to the top, and finally it all caught up with her.

I just hope that all the little henchmen she appointed get their come-uppance in the not too distant future.

This great airline can do without people like her, we are well rid of her.

KC is the one for the job and we all wish her the best of luck.

I think Rob M. is the man for the job... he is appreciated by all the crew, he is friendly, understanding, and a good mate ! Hope he makes it to the big chair !

Well all this news for us.
No more hot meals on flight under 3hrs.Its about bloody time.
And our BEST FRIEND (only joking ) J.G leaving.
I cant take it all in.
I dont think anyone in the office should get the job.
There are a couple of people in there that are ok. But I still think we need someone new to hopefully make us crew happy to work for GB again.

she may be out but the legacy continues.........

just remember everyone, there are still the 'MINI-ME'S' left, some of who have graduated with first class certificates from her schoool of witchcraft and wizardry

wot gb need's is someone new, fresh, vision, with management experience and a qualification would be nice, not someone who get's 'voted' in cos they are nice. Well, believe me, not so nice when they have a budget to control, people to discipline, wot about it then? very nice now, but then wot? someone new would make themselves respected for who they are and for the respect they show us, someone who don't have 'friends' already at gb, someone who would treat us all fairly.

there is still a long way to go, a very looonnnng way.
and this chicken is gonna cluck: this won't mean an increase in your basic, 2 nightstops a week, and it's all hunky dory...yes, things will change, not today, not tomorow, and good luck to all those in mighty (and not so mighty who need to be brought down a peg or two) places who remain, lets see if things really change, or is it now gonna be a power struggle to the top...

Hilda....0r do you perhaps have another name that resembles an infamous lady from the past?

Quiet obvious you need to seek some help. You are obviously one of the Hitler Youth. Your language does not disguise your evil bitterness that your mentor has instilled in you..........your time will come.

KC would do a good job. Anyone in any position of responsibilty will have their enemies. I doubt though she is strong enough to get rid of the rest of the trash left behind in this woman's wake.

Apart from KC, there is nobody else even close to having the character and qualities for the job.

GM being appointed to run Cabin Services is a good move from the MD. We can be grateful for that. At last there is someone there who knows what he is doing.

I look forward to seeing all the Hilda Ogdens of that department out on the streets where they belong.

Chicken Tarragon I so agree with what you are saying.
If any of that lot in the office got the job, things would not change at all. Two of them ( K.C & R.M ) are so far up J.G's behind. I am amazed they can see daylight.
Somebody new is my vote

memphisbelle, it is so obvious from your name that you should have hung up your cabin shoes years ago, things have changed , this is modern aviation.
A business, not a travel agency.

BA boy where is this notion that KC & RM are up jackies rear end????

As I understand its KC has never seen eye to eye with JG and as for RM well I dont think so!

I do agree however new blood would be best a fresh approach for the future but will the rest of the department be happy to mend their ways..... Oh yes and a man would be good!!

Hilda, modern doesnt mean you have to be rude, snappy, disrespectful and unfriendly.... or does it according to your standards ? Your comment to memphisbelle was not necessary and just shows how short minded you are.

Well JG is going back to Eastwick, I was under the impression that there were only three witches it appears there were four as three more remain.
What's all this twaddle about RM as a replacement? Mr nice guy- I think not- more like Mr slime ball. He has stabbed more people in the back than Buffy the Vampire slayer, I remember him at his old airline - it's not cock a doodle doo it's any coq au vin will do! He needs to go too along with the others. In the words of good old silicon valley we need fresh blood.
Bin Laden has been missing for some time now - has any thought of looking for him at the Beehive? He might be a good replacement because the others that are there at the moment cannot do any better.

Well tarquin!!

Maybe RM is not the man for the job, but I dont think your comments are justified hes the only base supervisor whos honest and lays it on the line with respect for you but also working within the restraints of the company.

He works harder than the rest cos hes the only one in the office that crew really respect and the only in there who can actually do their job properly!

Obviously you must have crossed him at some point.

Well said Tarquin, I agree with your comments.
Seniorjunior have you been brainwashed? RM sits in his office thinking he is Brad Pitt he is more like Cesspit.
He won't do us any favours. Remember the story Little Red Riding Hood, look into his eyes and see what big teeth he's got!
