That is a very interesting article. I’m sure AAR thinks that the ship is still on course!

Are those cumulative or discrete numbers? Are the 11x777 stored in April the same 11 as June or is that going to be an extra 11? Makes a big difference but either way isn’t good.
I think Big G the article has cumulatively added the numbers, next month at 20 frames seems to be the worst.
Its their mess to tidy-up, didnt seem like much chaos the other day in the fleet office, they all seemed rather relaxed, possibly due to the bonus coming at them

One of our VP's is a person who takes meticulous minutes during meetings that happen with all department heads. This occurs frequently, but I do not know how often. So just very recently when the pilot shortage was brought up, STC questioned AAR about that. AAR stated that he was unaware of a pilot shortage. This VP pushed forward minutes in excess from 50 meetings where it was brought up, and of which AAR was attending. STC apparently went ballistic, and rightly so.
Same story from medical. A DR. might tell you how their boss will pump out reports of how "efficient" they are running, but it is merely because they are short staffed big time and getting worked to death.

I'm sure in Dubai-style they'll report that this was the best and biggest iceberg in the whole world, it cost in excess of 2 billion to produce, it has a separate VIP section, and is gold plated on top! There's also a ladies-only iceberg behind.

What needs to happen is that when those 40+ aircraft are parked at DWC, someone should take a photo showing the scale of the situation and send it directly to the boss, bypassing his minions, to show him what his staff are not.
