What "prestige"?
Reminds me of one of my old F/Es who got two letters of thanks in one month from the MD (who was a billionaire) thanking him for saving the company money.
He wrote a letter to the MD saying "Dear George, Keep sending the "thank you" letters. For God's sake don't send me any money. My bank manager just loves your letters".
Shocking!
For me, like applying to the RAF, joining BA was a serendipitous accident; I could have been a turbine driver in a power station y'know
