New GF VPO

[LOC STAR]

Does anybody know the new Vice President Flight Operations, Christopher Cain?

a- His flying background
b- His management background
c- Personality
d- Any more info….

[ironbutt57]

Probably find out at the roadshow today

[jackbauer]

He accepted a job with one of the sickest airlines in the world right now, what more do you need to know? Obviously desperate for a job!

[ironbutt57]

Or keen for a challenge!!! He'll certainly get one of those

[blizar]

Chris Caine has been our VP ops in EY for a couple of weeks, then kicked out for political reasons. He ''resigned'' then joined EK as far as I know...
Hell of a nice guy to me.

[point8four]

Sounds like he's been around, political reasons at EY I understand. Why did he leave EK(if he was indeed there) - for career advancement (GF?). I suppose every bicycle needs a set of handlebars.

[fractional]

Obviously desperate for a job!

How do you know?

[ironbutt57]

Unless he knows something none of the rest of us do, lets take the positive approach and let the chips fall where they may...

[what_goes_up]

a- His flying background

British trained, then flew for swissair for a long time

b- His management background

Deputy chief pilot Fokker100 (I believe) with swissair
then, I thought VP Training with EY (for a very short while)

c- Personality

Hell of a nice guy and a real gentleman. A pleasure to fly with. Hope he's not being shafted there!!

d- Any more info….

Obviously leaving EK for a new challenge. I am sure he is good news for you guys at GF (as good as it can get)
All the best for you Chris!! Keep the blue side up.

Chris Cain was indeed at EY. - He is a great guy. As far as I know he was Chief Pilot on the fokker at Swissair and in management and training for many years. When he was head of training at EY I found him to be very fair and approachable. I know he went to EK and was very happy there so perhaps he's gone to GF for the challenge?!
Good luck Chris!

[340flyer]

I knew him from EY. A very nice guy and a pleasure to fly and deal with

[EYZ]

This is the best news GF have had for a while, its about time Chris had some luck, he would have been great at EY had it lasted.

If you dont want him send hime back to EY please!!!!

[Mustapha Rex]
