Foster Resigned Yesterday
Saw an RBA crew last night who said Foster was gone. Knew only the CSO who in my day served us tea.
Sad that there has been such a turn over but life goes on

Depature of the CEO
Lets not forget that a little while ago there were all sorts of rumours that he had cleared his desk, these were from within and outside the airline.
There is nothing official yet, but hey the next few days will give us a reason to

Writ Of Summons Against RBA
Got hold of a copy of this doc that brings to light the shameful slide downhill. That the management has sunk to this level is really no suprise as I could see the writing on the wall before i left. Takes a lot of balls to take them on in court though.
There should be a reply by the Co by now, and it would be good for all of us ex's to know what they say.
Thin Albert note no comments, just want a good read.

Future Investment For Royal Brunei
The NZ Herald has just reported the sale of one of HM's Herne Bay Houses for $35 Million. No doubt it will be reinvested where it is really needed.
At last free car parking and some sheep skin coated seats we have been waiting for for so long.

Its all rumour and speculation at the moment. Flight Ops were asked if they could crew 2 A330 by Dec 2005 but there is no CEO right now and I dont think anyone will make an decision until a new CEO is in place. Mainly because any failings will be viewed as his fault.

I hope you are wrong but I suspect you are right. How many more diullisioned expats and locals will be tempted to leave is hard to say. The last CEO was responsible for driving down costs and driving away a lot of experienced and able pilots. It will be interesting to see if people stay and wait or if they are so fed up with the cycle begining all over again that they take one of the options that many are sitting on.
One thing is for certain. RBA wil never again be the good place to work that it once was. No doubt there will be some opposite views posted by people who are happy with their lot in Brunei, but they are getting fewer and fewer as the experience levels get lower and lower and the Boeing fleet gets older and older and carries more and more ADDs.
Does anyone remember the Flight Safety and Swiss Cheese film.

Is The FRA Flight Safe?
The Helios Airways accident has confirmed my thoughts for the operation of RBAs Frankfurt flight services.
I worry about the wisdom of a Captain sitting in the right hand seat during this 3 crew operation on the direct service.
Concider that he has no simulator training in that seat, and that they admit that they feel like a duck out of water. Then add factors like the lack of proper crew rest areas and fatigue, lack of experience in the crews all round, and concider he might be alone from time to time.
It is sad to put ones fears on this page, but to do otherwise brings the risk of attention from a fleet management who have no concept of flight safety.

Flight Safety or The Lack Of It
Valid points TF. AAIB Bulletin No 6/99 and others that can be picked off the Helios airways postings show that at least we need the training.
Will we get it. How many years is it that the management have ignored fatigue on the 767 fleet. Dream on. What will it take to open this can of worms, lets hope its just an incident and not an accident.

Management Changes and Future Employment
Reading the posts on this site does not encourage those already employed to risk making the change to an airline career.
However, the CEO has now departed and from what I read the decline in conditions reversed. What are the chance of direct employment without the ties of Rishworth.
Is bonding an issue or covered by the 3 year contract?
