Anyone know anymore? "Work" familiarisation? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x-in-man Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The new director should have started as it’s almost the end of August. Has he? Where is he? Has he kicked any asses yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably contracted Jez & Annie Consulting to help him in how to run an airport, given he doesn't actually have any experience in doing just that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I love how Loganair throw their toys out of the pram - very publicly - because another airline gets heavily subsidised. Such a bunch of hypocrites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x-in-man Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Well, Gary Cobb is shown as being there now on his Linkedin profile. Almost a month in and not a word from him, the department or ANYONE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him get set up, see the situation through his own eyes and know what tools he fully has compared to maybe what was promised. If he had come in guns blazing I can almost guarantee we would be hearing all moaners going on about it also. Sometimes you can't win with people. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x-in-man Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Seeing as the Government is desperate to ring the ‘everything’s OK’ come and live here bell at every available opportunity- it would be nice if he, or the Government could just confirm that the job has now been taken over, and things were being looked at regarding being able to use the fucking airport rather than keep going in the entrance and come out exit every time you want to fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
