Prior to locked flight deck doors, letters requesting "ATC famil" flights were quite rare and often,when they happened, it was sanctioned by the fleet management. As an ex skipper in BA I never received one directly, though a couple of times a CSD mentioned it in passing at the end of the day on the bus back to the crew centre.
Stupid letters, such as this one, were often 'filtered' by the CSD into file 13 and, in my experience, did not reach the flight deck.
All on his own, this man has wrecked his so called career for ever and the R.A.F. should
charge him for bringing the service into disrepute, or remuster him to TAG, or let him leave and tell him his pension has gone for ever.
ps. In my time in the R.A.F. in Air Traffic Control (as an assistant ) , the rank of Sergeant was never a controller and the minimum rank for local control was a Flight Sergeant.
