You think that's bad! Come September, the late plane from RAK gets into LGW at 3.45am.

I was the victim of that schedule change recently, but have moved the flight onto the following morning flight to LHR.

Am off to GIB on Monday week - few hours business, but stuck in GIB till the 2015 return flight, if anyone else fancies a day out.

Missed out on that by around 2 months and a week or so I'm afraid. You'll enjoy the landing and take off at GIB if you haven't done it before.

Fingers crossed, when the new MD arrives later this year, he will really take control and turn it all around again, and fire everyone from the Commercial Department which do make some monumentally bad decisions at times.
this one post gives me huge hopes for the future! In my own personal dealings, I've come accross a hell of a lot of GB phone answerers who seem to provide a dictionary definition for "couldn't give a toss"... I am glad (although it's for bad reasons) that there are people still there who do care about what's going on within GB!

Incidently, on the "fire everyone in commercial" veign of thought.... there's a particular woman in GB customer relations who seems to act like she gets a ticket every day for parking her broomstick on double yellows... she could go too, if you ask me!

Many times. A bit of a GIB veteran. Twice ended up in Tangiers because of the fog. Only once got bitten by an ape.

Just heard on the grape vine that the Commercial Director has also now resigned/been pushed, going in a month or two...

So within a year we will see a new MD, Commercial Director, and Finance Director.

Sinking ship, or are the 'family' getting rid of the dead wood at last?

Let's hope it is the latter!

Sounds like Walker Industries. But somehow Karen kept hold of her CEO job, didn't she?
