Oh dear, check the Orange Pages - he's not there! Is it a technical malfunction or has he departed??

Well, if a little "birdy" told you that he didn't have enough time to get into Emirates directly, perhaps he could explain how this guy could be put in charge of the training of 1200 pilots in the UK's second biggest airline?

Who needs hours? To manage, you just need the attitude!

When you you've got astronaut on your cv you don't need hours. I'm sure EK will be so pleased to have him. (Must remember not to apply there)

So, if the shuttle was aiming to touch down at Long Beach and you guided it to Bar Harbour without telling Houston mission control, what's that called? A successful landing?

It's funny.. if my detective work is correct and I've got the right chap it looks like this guy was very popular in his role prior to EZ. At least according to a thread in this forum from a 2 or 3 years ago.
Sample quote:
Great guy who has seen the light. Easy are lucky to be getting him. A consumate professional, who always judges fairly - a very important quality in a training manager.

Maybe just goes to show that you can never be friends with the guys you work for...?

Somebody is responsible for the misery of the availibilty (number) of required trainers, which we did not have on the right timeframe.
Cutting cost, thereby producing higher costs, needs consequences. That is management life.
But, from pilot to pilot, I wish him luck for future projects.

As someone who has just had his February start date postponed indefinitely for this reason I did wonder it was related to this 'restructuring'. Oh well, perhaps he'll get on better at Emirates. Certainly looks like Andy Harrison is taking some proactive sensible actions though.

Any idea or bets on a possible successor, or is CM a full term replacement?

Ouch!! Somehow, I don't think he will be recommending a close buddy again! Look how the favour was repaid!

DO was head hunted by Emirates at the same time as the cabin training manager left for Dubai. He turned them down. She did not. Perhaps he has gone to Dubai after all.
If only we could get Dr D to join them in the sand.

Question

Quite honestly I donīt understand what all the fuss regarding D.O. is about.

I donīt recall any actions on his behalf that have upset the pilot community. (although I donīt always read all company emails... )

He did a little chat during my last SEP and to me he came across as quite sympathetic, realistic and down to earth.

Can someone please update me?
