The C's arse Glee Club. Disbanded...
An unholy trinity; disbanded. Funny old payout though - when you pause to consider it. Carmody gets a gong and the bums rush; the unspeakable Campbell (one of the many) gets to 'parlay' for RAAA (what the Hell are they thinking) and Crawford gets sacked. Many are hoisting a quiet beer or three to the Crawford ousting - even believing that it is a 'sign' of thing's to come - wrong. Sorry chaps (and chapesess) but it has little; if anything, to do with industry prayers for reformation - zero, zip, por nada.
The Git from the Gorbals was, from the very first estimates with Spence given enough rope - and; the bloody fool took it. Ego, bombast and a total lack of contact with reality led our wee Scots lamb to the butchers knife.
There is a benefit to abject failure: after the debacle with Qantas a sensible, realistic man would have had a good long think about 'how come' I buggered up such a great job so completely that I was forced to work for CASA? Lesson learnt and a promise to self made, not to ignore the clear warnings. But no; and alas.
You see children - Crawford was at first tolerated; then he made a fatal, but inevitable mistake - he grossly offended the 'White hats' - those who toil within CASA for sanity. Rebellion from within is what done him: (well that and an unpleasant personality).
Spence was given no options - nary a one - it is 'us' (200 odd) or him`. Spence - wisely IMO - decided to remove the offending person and his piss-potical edicts rather than loose the white hat's who had, most definitely - to the point of mass resignation and union action had enough of the Gorbals Git. Sod all to do with an industry - from big Q down to the Kickatinalong flight school - por nada. Simply a much needed move to pacify the 'good troops' open rebellion. Company politics eh?
I may add that Spence - stand alone; would never have fired the bugger without some serious support from deep within the 'status quo'. Rang for advice, got it and signed the paperwork. QED.
Aye well - all's well that ends well - no matter how we got there. It ain't much; SDA in fact, but it is most satisfactory nevertheless. No matter the radical - we are, officially, much better off than we were. A good riddance - I'd say.
Toot - toot.
