I wish I could, in all honesty, say: "Unbelievable!", but I cannot.

To think these same people are trying to write a RP document. At least the 787F roster will be nice and stable...unproductive but very stable.

And a CEO during a Bloomberg interview said we are getting A50s and how the airline benefited by paying 35% more for fuel by poor hedging.

Will the 787F flights use the yellow flight # cards in despatch?

Indeed, I'm surprised you're surprised.

She's about as much use in her role as a one legged cat trying to bury a !!!! on a frozen lake.

Useless yes, but 10 out of 10 for effort though in managing to get to the lake in the first place!

Because it's such a big deal...
Can you get upset about something important? Spending you energy on some typo is really a waste.

In our business, small details are critical.
Lead by example.

Yes Dan, very true, I agree.
But this falls under prioritisation. About a typo in a worthless Friday Flyer update I get upset once all the other issues are solved.

This ignorance is why the other issues will never get solved though, wake up.

Great photo of a 7..insert number between zero and eight..7 which sums up your quite vivid analogy.

You'd think that as a matter of professional pride a DFO worth his/her salt would check what is being promulgated on their behalf.
Careless and sloppy - especially when they must know we hold them all in such low esteem.
Quite rightly it would seem.
