Well said Renfrew, well said.
The crew on the programme were obviously still bitter about getting paid off with GSM. [nothing was in their contract to say they would be offered permanent] It shows they would rather continue the slating of their ‘ex’ company rather than trying to find a new job. The captain in particular was always one for slating the company whenever he could, usually over the smallest little thing.

The Icelandair lease was horrific, even Icelandair staff [who flew on our flights as crew AND paxs] could not believe FI had given GSM the specific a/cs. Both of which were removed from FI’s fleet due to problems, and renamed under Loftleider. Their reputations within FI were very well known, and it is a real shame they were partly to blame for the reputation GSM have now.

GSM have shortend their flying programme for this year and next. The work going on behind the scenes is slow, but promising. Recovery will happen.

By going with the loads GSM are had, there has not been damage to the paxs confidence towards us.
