Anyone heard the rumour about this new ORK based start up ?
National news media reporting that they are head-hunting Michael Foley, ex-cx of EI, and that they intend to operate ERJ-135/145's out of ORK to BRU / AMS / CDG / FRA, starting summer 2003.
Contact details anybody ??

Oh the tales we could tell!! Let's just say that, like A. Hitler, one of the principals is Austrian and is beloved by Air Defence.

What is it boys? Not sour grapes I hope because one of ours has had the guts to fly from the comforts of our golden nest to face the biggest challenge of them all: the fickle airline business. Personally I wish him luck!

Avman,
Absolutely no sour grapes from my side (can't speak, wouldn't dare speak, for Lon). He put a hell of a lot of work into his degree and fair play to him for exercising his new found knowledge. My post referred to his, shall we say, 'bed-side-manner, which, having experienced it first hand on a number of occsions, leaves a lot to be desired. Best of luck to him. Let's hope for all concerned he's nowhere near customer relations or delicate contract negotiations.
BTW Happy New Year !

As radar says, not sour grapes - just personal dislike of the man, founded on experience.
I was about to compare him to the Guv, but on second thoughts he has had the guts to put someone's money where his mouth is.

Must have been making quite a noise as he even woke FO up and accused him of being me.

Allegedly all and sundry were being threatened with violence and/or legal proceedings.
