Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - City / Central merger

you really are living in your own wee world

should the merger go ahead then any radio circuit fees are going down in price for the next few years

also this just comes across as a sad bitter twisted old man whos trying to take a cheap shot across the bows yet city&crt see you as the gant sitting on the elephants arse

too little to be of any consequence (sp)

All the ugly sisters ever do is buy the work, and put up radio dues. What an erse you are Longshanks.

:roll:

Speak to your sweetie wife pals at haymarket skull and ask them if the prediction for circuit fees are to drop if the merger happened?

One building = less staff, less equipment, less overheads etc

Yet you predict that the fees rise

Your a prize one skull, I'll give you that

In my experience if you have more drivers you need more telephonists to take more work/calls, thus needing a bigger building which ultimately costs more to run. It would be nice and probably feesible to reduce circuit fees but unless it's agreed prior to a merger there are no guarantees for the drivers

If that be the case then a merger of two companies that keep telephonists they don't need in a space that's too big for them will be nothing short of a disaster :lol:

That would be the point of the merger. :roll:

You can put all the receptionists that you require in to one office. Get rid of the other office and get rid of the surpluss telephonists.

That's all well and good in theory, but taxi firm mergers are a different kettle of fish.

Loads and loads of egos all fighting to be top dog.

So, the merger goes ahead? What "salary" will the committee men get to "run" the new expanded empire? Murray for £70 grand? The Dodester for £60 grand? Colin Anderson - you remember him, he was going to clean up Central's act - he's gotta be on £50 grand Nae problem though, the increased radio fees will cover members' largesse Dig deep Dougie. Dig deep BTW In case you wonder, and I don't care if you do, I want the merger to go ahead. I implore members to suupport it

What will be the cost of the new super committee? This merger is not about the membership of CRT and City Cabs getting a good deal. It's all about the committees feathering their own nests.

Grandad, I think it was a typo - gnat - unless our Scottish friends have a different answer.

Murray's carving up the pile for Murray, not for the drivers. If anyone is going to make a mint it's gonna be Murray It'll be a MurrayMint (Sorry, couldn't resist it ) Let's hope the merger goes ahead It's the old "Art of War" adage. When the enemy is intent on destroying itself, all you have to do is nothing
