Thanks, Jim:

No single rumor I mentioned above really concerned me, in and of itself. It is the combination of them all that worries me. Actually, replacement of the Captain was the matter that worried me the least. I spent too many years in the "corporate world" to be unaware that personnel decisions usually involve facts that are not made known to fellow employees, let alone the general public.

Now that the questions as to the Captain's status and the GCT desk have been addressed, does anybody know anything about the two remaining matters -- which concerned me most. These are the matter of the pay cut for maintanence staff and GCT using "veto" power over RSSC's historical procedure of doing "recon" on new posrt.

Thanks,
Richard
