Just an aside question would some of these ATP's be from the 7 + that are siting at Southend, reputed to be for sale in the main ex BACX.

:ok:
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.

And we now have a new Flight Opps Director :ok:
I am sure that all at Emerald wish him well in his new post and look forward to seeing the improvments he can (and will I think) make.

Really?

Who is the new Ops Director? Any info?

Yeah... please tell us cos no one else will!!
mushrooms again!

He is I belive one of the captains from the 748 fleet.

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. :ok:

PHIL BROCKWELL - it's slag off, not of. I like eddie stobart more than that MOB.

Typo
 

Welcome to pendants corner. :ouch:

are they a kind of fruit corner ?

With a necklace in?

a necklace made of pearls?

Hehe.... guess she meant to say "Pedant"......

:p

this thread is dead - leave it be.

Is it true that this month Emerald have aquired two passenger ATPs?

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.
:D

Redsnail

They will have to fix the heating first before you can turn it on :D
