TCHD. Saw him once in a meeting, only once mind, but I took an almost instant dislike to him. Very pleased with himself and riddled with typical management speak and attitude.
A disappointing choice IMHO, another yes man who is quite happy to do AAR bidding. The race to the bottom continues unabated...

All hyperbole aside, I think I will give "Our 'enry" the benefit of the doubt, until proved otherwise.
He's quite the company man alright.

IB,
I am not sure that it is the Flight Safety Depts role to "Ok" anything per se, their role is to advise, as far as I am aware.
The actual policy is decided higher up the tree.
In addition, in the Darwinian world of EGHQ, as elsewhere, it is sensible to only fight the battles that you can win. Correct me if I am wrong but the flights you quoted are no longer operated as you quoted due to FS getting the ammo from our ASRs.
At the time of their launch the duties were "legal" under FTLs.
Now we can all bitch about how it was obvious that the trips you mentioned wouldn't work but we all also know that until proven otherwise to AAR the schedules were going to go ahead, come what may. So rather than show "Our 'enry" as a naive idealist, it shows he is a grown up, aware of the realities of life in EK.
I am still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in his new role, until proven otherwise.

You believe what you want and give whoever a second look. I'll happily revisit this thread in a year from now and see what your verdict is. I'm pretty sure it won't differ much from mine today.

IB, I think you maybe misunderstand, giving someone the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise is simply, me, a grown up, being capable of making my own mind up, without the need to be told this or that by whomever.
I know Henry and I know John and think they need a chance to see what, if anything, they can do.
You may be right and if so I will bow to your insight and knowledge. Until then .............................................. nuff said.

Monarch Man,
You are spot on re the lineage of TCAS. His nick name is from his BA days and also true about his association re CX & the 49's. I'm ex BA(27 years there) and my best mate is one of the 49's.
Which unfortunate group of pilots is going to inherit him now he has left EK?

I was not aware of TCAS involvement in the CX 49er issue / debacle. How so?
