"Not surprising as the ops team is apparently now lead by bean counters who know zip about maintenance and operations. Low time pilots, combined with garbage maintenance, beat up airplanes, remote destinations, and a negligent management all combine for a very disturbing picture."

I don't understand this strategy but who am I to tell them? I expect will come back to bite them big time but the thing is they don't know what they don't know and that is the scariest part. EG in particular is threatened by anyone with more industry experience and knowledge than him and that is dumb, dumb, dumb....he should embrace those who could "possibly" make him look good. The fact that JB allows him to assemble this low experience team is even worse.
