KA Captain sacked after 20 years service

[Krone]

The former head of the DPA was dismissed by the KA Chief Pilot along with the AGMO n the other goons. Great big grins were seen across several on the 2 nd floor.

All so sad and pointless. Unless you consider the cost of replacement with a junior FO upgrade.

But wait , i hear the pilots are fighting back

Sacked by the Chief Pilot?

Maybe I'm way outta touch but I was always of the opinion a CP, was there to attempt to look after the interests of his/her pilots. To try and protect them from bulling management and management pilots.

That is what I always tried to do when I was in the job.

If it is indeed who I have heard rumored to have been dismissed it is very sad news.
Before moving across the road I flew with him alot and you couldn't find a nicer gentleman aviator with the classic phrase "have a nil further day"
I hope he is successful with any appeals.


The Cav

[airdualbleedfault]

Not the KA CP anker, complete scumbag

[JammedStab]

Was it a legitimate reason?

[asianeagle]

UNRELIABLE SOURCE says something about not adhering to policy regarding visits to flight deck is what got him

[voyager2]

After 20 years service? You think there could be a bit of flexibility shown by management - typical knee jerk reaction, IMO

[Black Cloud]

Typical

At best it warrants one year loss of seniority and a letter on file, nothing more. I think departing with gear pins in is a far more serious event yet look what happened there.

[airdualbleedfault]

Or nearly crashing a 747 in the UK Black cloud, look what happened there

[crwkunt roll]

Or ripping the L1 door off when pushing back. Look what happened there.

[LongTimeInCX]

Or telling the 340 pilot who banged the tail on rotate out of AKL that it was ok to press on to HKG. Look what happened there!

[doubleu-anker]

Oh, didn't realize he had form.

Difficult for anyone to put up a defense.
