Thank you RH, AT et al
Be careful what you wish for. At least the imperfect GL knows how to fly an airplane, has some training experience, and can meld those qualities.
I'm not confident that his successor will be superior. But let me know if you have other information.

No one good for the pilots will ever be hired into these jobs. SB sold his soul, fullstop. To fly with him 10 as an FO, or even 5 as a CN, years ago; you would think he’s a totally different person now. I used to think tigers don’t change their stripes. Was I ever wrong about that. Just wow!

JB & BB - 100% right on, GL has played both sides of the fence to his own benefit and is an expert at conflating company BS and "I'm on your side" garbage to his personal advantage. Has done so since day one.
#DrainTheSwamp
This particular "leadership" movement is more akin to a good Bowel Movement if you ask me, late and with much anticipated relief.

Morning Coffee,
I have flown with a number of "management pilot types" over the years at CX and I have found most if not all were very qualified to be in the seat they earned. To say otherwise is a bit slanderous, no? From RH, NM, IW, etc. They were all great on the flight deck. I find no basis for your previous comments, regardless of industrial relations.

A sideways move if PC since is already CPTraining ! However might broaden his horizon as he shoots for his old mans position.
Senior management might promote SW from DFTM. He has served his time as deputy.

"If" GL goes to AHK, it goes to show all those GL believers EXACTLY where his loyalty has been over the past 15+ years.
He pulled the wool over everyones eyes for years and, bingo, just by chance he gets this? I think not.
Absolutely everything he did was calculated and he did it to further his own personal agenda and tickle his sizeable ego, the perfect military machine.
Think GMO, CPT, GMF + same same

Busy B , I have to agree with your sentiments , I have spoken to a couple of pilots who had a rigged D&G with GL .It was a traumatic experience for them . Being a Gemini he plays both sides , pretending to care whilst sharpening the knife before plunging it in .
As for PC I just hope he doesn’t try to emulate his father who was a nasty piece of work and can never be forgiven for what he did to the pilots years back

PC will do exactly as he is told to do, and so will anyone else who is given the job.
I literally laugh out loud when somebody proclaims that Gus is one of the "good guys". He is there feathering his own nest on his way up the slimy management pole.
Nobody in management gives a damn about any of us. We are a line item on a budget that they are continually trying to reduce.

So which star signs make for the best pilots & managers? Should CX follow chinese or western astrology for recruitment & promotions?

Apparently, in a break from tradition two outsiders have been approached to take on the CP job vacated by GL. Two BTC's on the 777, AT and DJ asked to step in as "honest brokers" and effectively jobshare. LC is leaving at 55 ( early next year ) so not eligible.
GL stripped from introducing the 777X and dropped from his MIT consultancy group.

In my recollection SOs were "contract" only until well after B scale was introduced. Only then were "career" DE SOs hired.
Although it wouldn't surprise me if special deals were done, I don't think PC was "contract" and even if he was, I doubt his contract was converted to A scale "career".
