RIVNUT,

You don't like the CP much do you?

TBT,

RIVNUT is only posting thoughts that most of the pilot community seem a little hesitant to convey.

From what I' ve heard, the party poppers and whistles haven't stopped for 24 hours.

So, let me get this straight.....as of this moment, Vic Pol has no Chief Pilot, no Senior Pilot and is down one check and trainer!??

Since one would typically expect the Senior Pilot to step into the Chief Pilot role, how many vacancies will be advertised in this Friday's Australian??

Who will interview and chose the new recruits - the Chief Commissioner??

Or will a few of the remaining line drivers move up a notch??


All very fascinating.

Talking

Has the guy done anything wrong? I doubt it. Just left his patch unattended for too long and the rabbits have been running the place.....no cabbages left.

Maybe some Esso guys will jump across. There is a heap of experience down there.

Times will get interesting.

I doubt it DD.

Methinks only a desperation to live in Melbourne would entice them to hand in their car keys, fuel cards and take a $20K paycut.

No rabbits up at EN, AB....unless you are talking about those mutant hares out on the grass

Just a bunch of professional guys doing a difficult job, who incidently have nothing to do with the current issue....

Cheers....

So Rivnut,

You have obviously a large axe to grind against the CP. You wouldn't happen to be one of the bunnies running around stabbing the boss in the back while he is not there to defend himself to further your own agenda would you?

Just curious.

Time Bomb,

You are obviously well acquainted with the details of this issue...(not)

Perhaps you should talk to the horse in question, and get the facts straight from the horse's mouth....

Cheers...

You're right Delta.

I'm just trying to find out why Rivnut has it in for TG, and if he is inside Vicpol, then it sets a very dangerous precedent. I've met the team and they seem to me like stand up blokes, so this surprises me.

Cheers right back at ya...

TBT,
I have nothing against TG or anyone else at Vic Pol....I'm just repeating what a few guys I know there have told me. I think you'll find that there were no 'bunnies' running around stabbing anyone and that the CPs removal was done from headquarters. Apparently it was a total surprise to everyone at Vic Pol Airwing.

I guess life goes on and no one is infallible....i'm sure the Air Wing will continue as is...a professional and dedicated unit.

TBT,

Might be time for the TG love appreciation hour to wind up. He burnt himself...unfortunately for him his obsessive report writing bit him on the arse. That and his famed Napoleon complex.

Cest La Vie.

VPAW Pilot,

Are you suggesting that what we've said is incorrect? I can never tell on PPrune when someone is having a dig. You know my PM!!

Fair enough.

If Headquarters sack the Chief Pilot, then doesn't the AOC also cease immediately. An "Acting" CP is not the same as a CASA approved one. Or has that been passed already by CASA?

You are correct regarding the AOC but CASA have different rules for the #igs.
