Fleet expansion, increased frequency, new routes.

Advice to management

Get off your high horse. Your toxic attitudes can lead to unwanted air incidents with highly stressed crew.

Keep this as a last option. Legacy AI was far better anytime.

Brand Fleet

Management Culture similar to govt offices Slow Causal attitude Proactive approach missing

Avoid till management and working culture is improved.
