He's been feeding at the public trough for 35 years and now they want another 20 to see him off. Just ride away Pruess, no one wants this party nor will we miss you.

Why don't we just have the party AFTER he leaves...of course he will have been forgotten about 30 seconds after he leaves the building. We could hold the party at the Flying Beaver. :smt040

Don't worry, he is looked after. He will get a Mgt pension plan much better than all of us will ever see and , no doubt get into the consulting with travel rewards aka ICAO.

Time for a total change of Management in TC :goodman: :goodman:

When I was younger I worked in the pest control industry.

One of the most common pests we dealt with was cockroaches.

Cockroaches will disappear as soon as a light is shone on them, then when they think they are safe they are right back.

The only way to get rid of them is to seal off the area and exterminate the building.

Tower C needs an exterminator to clean it out.

Watching one cockroach leave for another place to infest does nothing for the situation in the building the cockroach is leaving.

After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

May 1st would be a great time for a celebration. I, for one, will lay in a stock of Guinness and happily toast the end of the dark era at TC. It couldn't get worse, could it? Oh, wait, I...... oh hell never mind, I'll have the Guinness anyhoo.

I just figured out why we have gun control, the civil serpents are afraid of an armed uprising and lynchings - they forgot that rope hasn't been registered so we could still 'see him off' in style.

Luckyboy, the problem is not with the experience level or background in TCCA upper management.

The problem is an infestation of dishonest self serving moral degenerates running it.
