Green Machine,

" I have known PH for many years, he is very pleasant and well suited for the job."

What rock have you been under?!

This is the same a#$e licking idiot that would come straight out of union meetings and get straight onto the phone to pass all info onto company management! How did you think he got the name 'The Informant"

Spent his G days walking around CX city in a suit kissing any arse that would get him ahead.

A disgrace to the pilot group!

Didn't BA have an F/O who was Chief Pilot?

Perhaps the fleet office should be crewed by people good the job and deliberately not part of the C&T dept.

You're either one or the other.

You might be thinking of SAA??

There, they appointed an F/O as DFO!!:eek:

In an airline where you still had to call the Captain, "Captain" it didn't work out to well.
He never made command and ended up in the CAA :}

If you are in management your AOA membership is put on hold. Simple.

TGM I'd love to share some beers with you on a night out. You seem like a right laugh. Ever thought of stand-up comedy when you retire?

Well obviously green machine is management so we can discount anything he has to offer in future
As to his defense of the individual concerned he may be a very nice guy . He may well be super tech savvy but the fact is that he took a position in defiance of Contract Compliance so in my book he is a scab and always will be

Joblow,
Completely wrong, not in management, nor in training, just a regular left seat line jockey, AND an AoA member for the last 18 years. But your truly absurb, ill founded and idiotic assumption of my position in the company only re-confirms to me that you really don't understand where the real threat of working for CX is coming from. Brown Nose, if you truly believe that statement you made, then I won't argue against it, but it's contrary to everything I know of the man. Satorum you ask a very valid question. You get a hard hitting no nonsence STC like JTM to do his PCA, he has failed other very senior management captains on checks, and if our DCP is not up to scratch, he will fail him too! It's the way he rolls

Everything, including being appointed DCP as an FO? How is that possible without brown nosing? Maybe they do just look at prior credentials, I honestly have no idea, but for someone who never engages with people on the 3rd floor how can you become DCP? Honest question. Was he management at a previous airline?
