"Great, it seems we all agree that the ID should not solely choose the captain. So why don't we do that THIS time? Can we ask our president nicely to select a panel, applications get sent to him by a certain date, the panel selects the captain.
To me, that seems fair. Then if Andy is selected, he goes and if he doesn't, then there will have to be a name-change on his flight (a small price to pay in comparison with the whole budget). Then the matter would be resolved, and this topic would end."
David, candidates should have put them self forward at the last AGM, not now, or at least before Jonathan Grant contacted me. After John agreed to make the best of it, I booked and paid my flights, no insurance was taken out. Everything has a deadline. Flights at the same route will now cost over £300. The panel will not work, the losers will still complain even after that. I see they are starting to complain about Ally McCoist now. It is impossible to please everyone.
