Thanks for that, I wasn't entirely sure, I do recall him operating the route.
Hadn't realised he became Ops Mgr.
I have fond memories of him. The route out of LHR was always weight challenged. Full pax loads plus freight and mail together with not enough space for everything. No idea where everything was going to to actually fit.
As one of my first load sheets after training I made a right pigs ear of it, he patiently sat down in the cabin with me and went through it. Resulted in a fresh load sheet and helped a young tyke who was a bundle of nerves at the time. His approach that day gave me a confidence boost and all these years later I remain in the industry.
I use that today as an example when training.
