Austin Reid is retiring from bmi a year earlier than he had originally planned

Someone on the other thread on this subject raised the Titanic (so to speak).

Sinking fast, get rid of the hopeless Captain, promote the First Mate.

Situation normal, then.
Better than AR anyway --- he regularly seemed to tell the opposite of what eventually happened!
