Parabellum : What an excellent post and puts into perspective the slight thread creep into motivation for Wayne's case. I was in the area at the time you refer to . Absolutely dreadful experience for all subjected. I happen to know that Captain Bailey was a Air Europe casualty and will have gained some motivation from that. No "greed" in his motivation. Maybe just a logical, sensible approach to regulation which is arbitrary. If successful in his battle, many will benefit , particularly our younger colleagues who, I hope, will never have to suffer similar events to the scenario you describe.
