MOB what a charecter Fires straight from the hip and doesnt care who he upsets
But i have never known anyone more passionate about an airline
Have worked with him but never for him so i couldnt comment on how he treats his staff
Shame as he has a great bunch of guys and girls working for him in ops and engineering

Lets face it, the job of the MD is to maximise the ongoing wealth of the companies shareholders.
You don't see Eddie Stobart worrying about what his truck drivers think of him, wouldn't expect Mick cares what his drivers think of him either, just as long as the company shows expansion and longevity.
Luckily I have always been good enough at my job to choose who I work for, obviously some of Micks people don't have the same luxury.
However, if I didn't have the luxury of choosing who I worked for, I certainly wouldn't slag of the person responsible for my employment.
Just because the drivers aint happy doesn't mean the flight aint making money.

Capt Mainwaring,
Agree re Phil, a fine gentleman if ever there was one.
However, why should MOB, like the proverbial leopard, change his spots? Inferring from most of the posts about him on this thread, he still micromanages.
Best of luck to Phil in his new post.

Chatted to some of the 748 lads at sunny Coventry last night. They backed up what's been said here and said that Phil is a good bloke. I am sure we'll all hear from him when he gets himself settled.

Supposed to be three passenger and seven freight ATP's.
Which month they are meant to be delivered, or even in service, is anyones guess. But they will have to shift themselves and make their intentions known if they aim to have passengers to fill the seats.
Does anyone know what they are going to do with the passenger ATP's?

I can see some of us parcel pups aka freight dogs having a bit of a culture shock working with FA's and pax.
FA's won't be called Mad dog, Knuckles and Dave.
We won't be able to clamber into the Shed via the cargo door.
Might have to iron the shirt. Definitely won't be allowed to wear beanies, sheepskin lined flying boots etc.
Pax won't be tied down (oh but what a great thought).
Will have to turn on the heating for the cabin.
