Too much turnover at Comox Valley Airport

Dear editor, Deja vu — here we are three years later, and now the new CEO has decided that she should be gone, too.

Dear editor,Deja vu — here we are three years later, all of the senior top award-winning management staff including Chuck Fast are gone and now the new CEO has decided that she should be gone, too.The board is once again spending funds to replace management. Too much turnover.Morale of the remaining airport staff is in the dumpster, but the directors of the airport commission who caused all this grief are still there.The directors are pleased that YQQ is “above the minimal passenger growth experienced by most airports across North America,” which only proves that if you set the bar low enough you cannot help get a passing grade.Maybe it is time for local government to have a good look at their appointments to the airport commission and make some positive changes with new faces so that the airport can excel as it once did. The people of the Comox Valley deserve better.Marge Gariepy,Comox
