I agree the people running the pilots side didn't have much of a clue. Most had no real world aviation experience, while others there had loads more. But for some reason the DO and CP's wouldn't tap into that knowledge and experience. It was a culture of " if we didn't think of it, it wasn't a viable option".
The last DO was attempting to be a "Valerie Jarrett" to the owner with minor success.
The hands-on knowledge of the F.A.R.'s, and overall management experience, that would be reasonably expected of the position of Director of Operations, for a typical EMS 135 operation the size of AMRG totally escaped this guy. In some respects I felt sorry for him.
But, after observing his relatively consistent sociopathic behavior, it was clear that it would simply be a matter of time before he was outed, once it was clear to the cabal he could not satisfy their degree of expectations of "getting something for nothing" from employees and vendors.
He was forced to relocate to another state for employment.
Forensic observations of the company's operations as a whole reveal too many things that don't add up. In some respects it is not a surprise based on the regions socio-political-economic history.
Latent corruption on a very high level is suspect. It is likely to continue unless politics shift impetus to reveal this situations impropriety.
The way this company does business would not work in many other parts of the country.
